THE UNFORGETTABLES IN LIGHT: MAPPING WOMEN COMPOSERS ON VICTORIA HALL
Mapping on the façade of the emblematic Victoria Hall during the Matrimony Day with the thematic Architecture.
The idea is to project all the woman names and link with the all man names engraved in stone. In collaboration with Ville de Genève, Unité de Conservation du patrimoine architectural et Service Agenda 21-Ville durable.

PROJECT :
A mecca of classical music in Geneva, Victoria Hall pays tribute to great composers… exclusively male.
Yet, there is no shortage of female composers who are contemporary to these illustrious masters. For one evening, the Les Inoubliables festival and the City of Geneva joined forces to reveal to the general public some key figures of a musical heritage that has been too long overlooked during the Matrimoine Day, which focused on architecture.
Thanks to a mapping project created by Geneva artist Sophie Le Meillour, the names of female composers illuminated the façade of Victoria Hall. At the same time, historical presentations by Amelia Feuer, as well as a unique mini-concert by harpist Laudine Dard, allowed visitors to discover the careers and works of these artists who have remained in the shadows for too long.
