The exhibition Zones de (non)être 1 began its reflection with the local labor history and traced back to the political demands of May 1968 in France. These demands called not only for improvements in working conditions, but also laid the foundations for a broader critique of forms of exclusion and social domination. Throughout the 1970s, these struggles expanded and resonated with other historically marginalized groups, such as women, who began to make visible their subordinate position, even within the labor movements themselves. Thus, the horizon of social transformation initiated by the working class broadened, integrating feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonial demands that challenged not only economic exploitation but also structural inequalities across all areas of life.
