Literature Humanity, memory & transmission
 

Stories that question our relationship with the world

Rachid Benzine’s texts explore family ties, heritage and what is sometimes passed on through silence.

Memory

His works give an important place to memories, traces of the past and the stories that shape identity.

Dialogue between cultures

Crossed perspectives Literature & photography
 

An echo of Éclats de vie ou quand la couleur résiste

This encounter creates a bridge with the exhibition Éclats de vie ou quand la couleur résiste.

It offers a sensitive conversation between literature and photography, two forms of expression that reveal lives, wounds, silences and resistance.

An event that extends the questions raised by images through the words of an author committed to deeply human writing.
