NORA THEYS - PORTRAITS OF WOMEN

SOME CULTURE...

Oil painting on canvas (2016)

In 2015, the non-profit organisation Amazone, in collaboration with STIB and the Brussels-Capital Region, conducted a survey on the use of public transport and the public space by women. The project terminated artistically and symbolically in the Madou metro station, where four portraits by Nora Theys were given pride of place. They represent four women from Sint-Joost-ten-Node, who participated in the survey. For the occasion, the station was renamed ‘Madouce’.
