For this Ixelles chapter, the WomanShare archives are brought into dialogue with the Fonds Marian Lens / Artemys, offering a glimpse into the international reception of Oregon’s lesbian communities.\nThe exhibition is curated by Joséphine Wagnier, Salomé Burstein, Agathe Cotte and Louise Toth, and is based on the eponymous publication written by the WomanShare Collective in 1976,\nfeaturing personal archives and original works by Carol Newhouse, with reviews and books coming from the Brussels-based archives of the Fonds Marian Lens / Artemys.\nIn the summer of 1973, Billie, Carol, and Dian sought to escape the patriarchal, male-dominated culture of the big city and set out on a road trip. Driven by a desire to return to the land and the belief that women must find new ways of living together, they left Montreal and headed west, driving across the United States all the way to southern Oregon. The independence and isolation they found in rural life allowed them to affirm themselves as feminists and lesbians. In 1974, they purchased land and founded WomanShare, a separatist community where they lived, built, farmed, and wrote autonomously. Taking its title from a 1976 book co-authored by members of the collective, the exhibition Country Lesbians: The Story of the Womanshare Collective traces this history.\nFor the exhibition and the conference with the support of: Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles – COCOF – Loterie Nationale – Commune d’Ixelles – Région Bruxelles-Capitale / Images de Bruxelles.\n
