Through stunning photographs and immersive sound art, this exhibit explores the lives of female hunters in rural France and Southern Louisiana. These women disappear into the wilderness for hours, seeking out their prey and forming deep bonds with each other and the land. Sisters of the Hunt celebrates the hunting sisterhood, a group of women who reject traditional roles and embrace their inner predators in a society that often views them as prey. Photographer and filmmaker Camille Farrah Lenain expertly captures the mystical trails between ancient mythology and the 21st century through her lens, creating a truly captivating experience for all to attend.

Camille Farrah Lenain is a French-Algerian documentarian living in New Orleans.  Camille’s clients include the New York Times, Rolling Stone, the Washington Post Magazine, T Magazine, Sierra Magazine, The Bitter Southerner, and Libération. 

Her photographs have been exhibited internationally, including at the Arab World Institute, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Les Boutographies, and the PhotoVogue Festival. She was previously an Artist in Residence at the Joan Mitchell Center. 

This project was made possible through grants from the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development as administered by the Acadiana Center for the Arts, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, St Landry and St Martin Parish Tourist Commissions, and through the kindness of the Boisvert Foundation, Franco-American Benevolent Society with the assistance

of the NUNU Arts and Culture Collective.
