“Cousu main” by Jeanne Diama, to “talk about women in times of war by going into contact with them”


The 2023 editions of Faraway will be held until February 12 in Reims

Among the artists invited to the Faraway festival in Reims, which honors the living scenes of West Africa, a young Malian director and author. Jeanne Diama, 27, had already stood out at the Festival des Francophonies in Limoges last September with a feminine piece in acerbic, joyful language, The power of the loincloth. In his last piece, Hand sewn, this time she seizes on a painful subject: the rape of women as a weapon of war.
