MONUMENTS

With Dalila Mahdjoub


Where we explore the impact of monuments, toponymy, and places on the collective narrative.

Alain Castan takes us on a tour of colonial toponymy in Marseille. Statues, street, and building names don’t lie to those who want to hear.

Dalila Mahdjoub offers us a long and personal journey in an experimental essay about the unachieved identity of a second-generation immigrant living among loud stones.

“Une fois qu’on a commencé a vomir nos histoires, on peut commencer d’être libéré”
