It all began because of unreliable public transportation. Because of inconsistent scheduling due to protests, Anne-Fance Dautheville, born in 1944 in Paris, bought herself a Honda moped in 1968. She was a sensation in the 60’s, riding her moped to her job as a journalist. At that time, motorbikes were reserved for hooligans. But for Anne-France it was love at first ride. Her journalism job was soon thereafter too staid for the biker, who enlisted as the first and only woman on a motorcycle rally from Paris to Iran. Financing the rally herself, she arrived as one of 11 from the 100 bikers she had started with at the goal line. Once there, she continued on as one of 5 bikes to Afghanistan and Pakistan before returning to Paris. Upon arriving home, she found out what the press had been reporting about her, saying she was a nymphomaniac, lesbian and had let herself be driven in the accompanying truck. Enraged, she decided to ride around the world by herself, financing her voyage with magazine articles for documentation along the way. In 1973, she became the first woman to ride across the world on a motorcycle, proving that anything is possible if we put our mind to it. She proved that a woman can ride around the world alone. But most of all, she proved that she is unstoppable. This piece is based on a photo from Anne-France's journey. She loved the time spent in Afghanistan the most, and I love this image because it shows how education — especially for girls and young women around the world — opens our perspective. How knowledge is inexplicably connected to the tree of life. Created for the exhibition "FEMMOBILITY -- What do dreams know of boundaries? Dynamic woman: groundbreaking past, present and future."
