Zadig Hamroune

Zadig Hamroune, associate author at Les Franciscaines this year, opens his writing workshop to you for three creative writing sessions this season. Explore the theme of intimate writing, in conjunction with the Planches Contact Festival.

"The intimate, the diary, interior chronicles, introspectives, autofiction, will be the paths we take together to meet ourselves, on the borders of memory and the imaginary. Free or guided productions that reflect your sensory and emotional labyrinth. Let's open the secret drawers of our souls!" Zadig Hamroune
