The exhibition paroles paroles brings together three artists who explore language in a feminist way. Delphine Deguislage, Elyse Galiano and Nilbar Güreş are aware of the significance of words, of the mechanisms by which language can create hierarchies and generate discrimination. Through their use of language and text, they seek both to deconstruct the injunctions made to women and to create possibilities for emancipation. To do this, Delphine Deguislage, Elyse Galiano and Nilbar Güreş hijack and reappropriate language, deconstruct quotes and choose their words with precision. They will also name the forgotten, from invisibilised women to discredited authors.

With the exhibition paroles paroles, Delphine Deguislage, Elyse Galiano and Nilbar Güreş demonstrate that words are anything but hollow.

Nilbar Güreş (*1977, Istanbul, TR) holds a Bachelor's degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Marmara University (Istanbul) and a Master's degree in painting and graphic design from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. After obtaining her Master's degree, the artist studied pedagogy at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
