Le Cercle de la Lune

What if becoming a mother changed our view of the world?

On the occasion of the publication of their comic strip “The Power of Mothers”, Fatima Ouassak and Louise Plantin open a conversation on motherhood, injustices and the power of the collective.

In this album, they tell the story of Maryam, a young mother living in a popular neighborhood. When she discovers the images of the death of Nahel Merzouk in June 2023, in shock, she wonders: what future for her son in a world where some children are perceived as a threat?

Through this comic book, Fatima Ouassak and Louise Plantin tell the awakening of an individual consciousness that gradually becomes a collective force. They show mothers who refuse fatality and question the place that each and everyone can take to defend a common future.

This meeting will be an opportunity to exchange with the authors on the genesis of the album, the questions that have nourished it and how comics can contribute to the circulation of ideas. It will be about motherhood, transmission, discrimination, social justice, but also solidarity and the power to act.
