Joelle Sambi

Poet, slam artist, feminist, lesbian, LGBTQIA+ activist, permanent exile, Joëlle Sambi is one of the most committed and engaging figures on the current scene.

She charts a course where poetry is performance, at the crossroads of forms and struggles. Her words resonate as much in activist circles as on national stages, such as the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles, where she is an associate author. At L'Arche, she published vos corps seront caillasses in 2023 and will publish Maison Chaos in September 2026.
