Kiki performed as a singer and a dancer in famous parisian cabarets such as the Jockey, the Boeuf sur le Toit or the Concert Mayol. She even opened her own cabaret called Babel Chez Kiki. She was also a painter, a writer and an actor. Her memoirs (Souvenirs, 1929), prefaced by Ernest Hemningway, reflects her full awareness of her role in the cultural production of the Roaring twenties.
Part of the Châtillon-sur-Seine, Cradle of Icons project, the exhibition reclaims Kiki de Montparnasse’s legacy in her hometown and invites visitors to rediscover a major figure in women’s emancipation and 20th-century cultural history.
Designated an Exhibition of National Interest by the French Ministry of Culture, Kiki, Queen of Montparnasse offers an immersive and accessible experience for all, bringing together photographs, paintings, drawings, archival documents, and works created by Kiki herself.
