A conversation with writer Fatou Diome, a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium.
Fatou Diome, a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium, will be our guest for the start of the new season. Imbued with a celebratory spirit, *Aucune nuit ne sera noire* (No Night Will Be Dark), Fatou Diome’s latest work, resonates with our times and their fragilities.
Blending personal experience, social reality, and the power to act, the writer’s literary world takes a combative and poetic trajectory that resonates particularly with the exhibition *Tempesta*; where voices, identities, and transformations echo the text Fatou Diome addresses to her ancestors.
Come discover how the author candidly observes the impact storms can have on bodies and minds in her stories brimming with humanism.
