Mickalene Thomas

June 13 – November 9, 2025

"Mickalene Thomas: All About Love" is the first exhibition in France devoted to the work of the pioneering artist. Les Abattoirs is the final stop on an international tour of this exhibition, following The Broad in Los Angeles, The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and the Hayward Gallery in London. "All About Love" reflects on more than two decades of Mickalene Thomas' career through the presentation of vibrant works celebrating love and the brilliance of Black women. The exhibition shares its title and several of its themes with the pivotal text by feminist author bell hooks, in which love is an active process rooted in healing, carving a path away from domination and towards collective liberation.
