What if Mother’s Day became an ode to all those who have given birth to both masterpieces and children?

On 25 May, FAMM pays tribute to women who are mothers, artists, and sources of inspiration. To those who painted their children like Mary Cassatt, drew their memories like Louise Bourgeois, or simply passed on sensitivity, perspective, and strength. "Art is a guarantee of sanity," said Bourgeois, whose spiders symbolise the protective and ambivalent mother.

For this special day, we’re offering you 30% off all tickets. A gesture to celebrate those who give, create, care, and nurture.

And that’s not all: capture a photo of your mum in front of her favourite artwork at FAMM. Share her photo on Instagram by tagging us @famm_mougins and try to win a FAMM gift. A gentle, joyful way to say thank you to those who helped us see the world.

Painter, composer, dancer, and poet, Lalan (Xie Jinglan, 1921–1995) was a rare and powerful voice in 20th-century creation. Born in China and trained in France, she developed a singular artistic language blending abstraction, electroacoustic music, and movement. Her work, deeply free-spirited, explores the connections between disciplines and cultures.

This talk will revisit her extraordinary career on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of her passing. Through her archives, visual works, and sound universe, the event offers an immersion into a practice that is as poetic as it is radical.

It will be led by Raphaël Dupouy, photographer, author, and director of the film Le Souffle de Lalan. Director of the Villa Théo art center, he has devoted much of his career to sharing the legacy of this artist he first met in 1994.

The talk will be followed by a convivial drink and discussion.
Talk in French.
