AboutWomen In Motion Kering's commitment to women is at the heart of the Group's priorities and extends, throughWomen In Motion, to the field of arts and culture, where gender inequalities are still glaring, even though creation is one of the most powerful vectors for change.In 2015, Kering launchedWomen In Motionat the Festival de Cannes with the ambition ofhighlighting women in cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. The program has since expanded in a major way to photography, but also to art, design, choreography, and music. Through its Awards, the program recognizes inspirational figures and emerging female talent, while itsTalks and Podcastsprovide an opportunity for leading personalities to share their views on the representation of women in their profession.Since it was created,Women In Motionhas become a platform of choice that contributes to changing mind sets and thinking on the place of women - and the recognition they receive - in the arts and culture.
