AWARE is a non-profit organisation founded by 7 women with different backgrounds but all driven by the same enthusiasm (three lawyers, Margot Mérimée Dufourcq, Daphné Moreau, Nathalie Rigal; a curator, Camille Morineau; a violinist, Elisabeth Pallas; a public accountant, Alexandra Vernier-Bogaert; and a writer, Julie Wolkenstein). Four permanent staff members and a team of volunteers, students, and professionals from major cultural institutions also contribute to its existence.
Camille Morineau has worked for French public institutions for twenty years, including ten at the Centre Georges Pompidou as curator of the contemporary collections.
She has curated many exhibitions, among which elles@centrepompidou (2009-2011), the first of its kind, which presented a selection of works exclusively by women from the national museum of modern art’s collection.
