Depending on the source, between one in 4 and one in 8 women will develop breast cancer, and this number is growing all the time. Which makes it a major societal concern.
At the same time, the remission rate in relation to predictive medicine is rising sharply, and this needs to be communicated loud and clear.
Boobs Art is a contribution to this message. The Maison de l'Image's intention is to go beyond the strictly cultural aspect of its exhibitions, and to place the theme of the breast on the level of a quasi-humanitarian cause.
