In this video, president of the Centre Pompidou Laurent Le Bon and co-founder of AWARE Camille Morineau engage in a lively, generous conversation about the future of cultural institutions, the importance of feminist art histories, and the evolving role of museums. Le Bon shared an inside look at the Pompidou’s upcoming architectural transformation and its global “constellation” model, while Morineau reflected on her pioneering work bringing visibility to women artists and announced the major news that AWARE will be integrated into the Centre Pompidou as a dedicated programme. Together, they spoke about public–private collaboration, the responsibilities of museums in a shifting world, and the need to preserve the intellectual, political and poetic vitality of art institutions.
“I realised that, in the end, half of art history had been forgotten.”
— Camille Morineau
