The first volume (English/French) of the collection of interviews with winners of AWARE Outstanding Merit Prize is now available in bookstores. This first tome is dedicated to Nil Yalter—a joint winner of the 2018 Prize—on the occasion of her retrospective TRANS/HUMANCE at MAC VAL in Vitry-sur-Seine (France).
The interview was conducted by Fabienne Dumont, an art historian, art critic, specialist of the French feminist art scene in the 1970s, and co-curator of the MAC VAL exhibition.
This publication received support from Tania Assaf. With a publishing grant from Centre national des arts plastiques.
