Claudine Janik. Penn sardin, une histoire de femmes.

2024 est l'année du centenaire de la grève des sardinières de Douarnenez( 21 novembre 1924 au 6 janvier 1925). Claudine Janik a découvert cette grève de femmes à travers des chansons, des lectures et des recherches sur internet. Elle a, aussitôt, eu envie de mettre ces femmes courageuses à l'honneur, à travers le textile...mais pas que. une exposition passionnante!

Claudine Janik – Penn Sardin, A Women’s Story

The year 2024 marks the centenary of the sardine cannery workers’ strike in Douarnenez, which took place from November 21, 1924, to January 6, 1925.

Claudine Janik discovered this historic women's strike through songs, reading, and online research. She was immediately moved and inspired to honor these brave women—known as the Penn Sardin—through textile art… but not only that.

The result is a fascinating and powerful exhibition that brings their struggle and resilience to life.
