At 28, Velia Ferracini is emerging as a unique voice in French-language literature. Originally from Sion, she combines a thesis on Swiss literature in Fribourg with socially engaged writing. Her novel Lave mes cendres, supported by a Littérature Pro grant, draws its inspiration from a volcanic eruption. It explores the themes of gender and artistic precariousness with a hybrid language and a very personal style. Come and meet her at a convivial evening event.
