French Literature / Littérature Française
The Banff Centre ~ CLVB ’33
Hosted by Rhonda Mullins and Santiago Artozqui
Join us for the closing celebration of contemporary francophone literature in our Literary Cabaret series, featuring readings from writers in residence from the Contemporary French Writers Residency at Banff Centre. This final chapter brings together original works by resident writers working across poetry, fiction, hybrid forms, and experimental approaches to language.
The evening is hosted by Rhonda Mullins and Santiago Artozqui, award-winning translators, writers, and faculty mentors for the residency. They guide the program and each share a short reading from their own work, highlighting the dynamic interplay between francophone and international literary traditions. Writers will read works in progress, largely in French, offering an intimate look into the creative processes shaping some of today’s most compelling literary voices from France.
Explore a selection of books from Pages Books and join us for a warm, welcoming gathering of writers, readers, and community. Doors open at 6:15 PM in CLVB ’33, with readings beginning at 7:00 PM. Guests are invited to mingle with writers and faculty following the readings until 9:30 PM.
Don’t miss this vibrant evening of language, culture, and contemporary French literature.
Residency and event support is generously provided by Fondation DRG.
