Louise Bourgeois: Memory, Trauma & the Radical Power of Sculpture

In this HENI Talks film, curator and critic Robert Storr guides us into the profound work of Louise Bourgeois, an artist whose sculptures and installations bridge memory, body and material. We trace how Bourgeois drew on personal trauma, myth and domestic architecture to create works that challenge conventional narratives of sculptural form.
Through her spider‑series, fabric works and monumental installations, we discover a language of vulnerability, power and psychological depth. A rich exploration of how Bourgeois transformed the private into the public, the fragile into the vast ,and why her work remains essential to understanding art in the late 20th and early 21st century.

🎥 Presented by HENI Talks — films that bring art, design, and architecture to life.
