    On the occasion of her residency, a talk with Sarah Haidar on her literary work will occur at the Camargo Foundation on Wednesday March 27 at 7 pm.

    Born in Algiers in 1987, Sarah Haidar is a writer, journalist and translator. The author of five novels published in Algeria, France and Lebanon, she first made a name for herself as the youngest Algerian writer when she published her novel Zanadeka (Apostates) in Arabic in 2004, at the age of seventeen. In 2013, she published her first novel in French, Virgules en trombe, hailed by critics as an innovative work that breaks completely with prevailing literary norms. La morsure du coquelicot (2016), embodies a further step in her work deconstructing the novelistic "déjà-lu".

     

    Saadia Gacem is a doctoral student in legal anthropology at the University of Aix Marseille. Her thesis research focuses on the judicial handling of cases of domestic violence and non-payment of alimony in the courts of Algiers. She directed her first documentary film, Felfel lahmar ("Piment rouge"), in 2019 in Timimoun (Algeria). Saadia is a feminist activist within the Réseau Wassila association in Algiers, and is interested in the history of feminism and the trajectories of female activists in Algeria. She is also the co-founder of the annual feminist magazine La Place لباصـــة, whose issue 0 was published in March 2022.
