Siham Mehaimzi (France, 1988)

Siham Mehaimzi was born in 1988 in Agen to Moroccan immigrant parents descended from a Sahrawi tribe. Siham grew up in the south of France where she began writing at the age of 10. After graduating in psychoanalytic clinical psychology, it was at the university during the "temporary art projects" that she met the poet Serge Pey who discovered her work and the program at the poetry cellar in Toulouse. Beside him, she takes part in the poetry march in homage to Antonio Machado who appears in the documentary film "the letterbox of the cemetery". Formed by the “Theater 2 Act” company, Siham aspires to the orality of poetry through which vibrates her ancestral memory, her mother’s exile and feminist issues.

Siham was published in an anthology of poets in the journal Mange Monde, edited by Rafael de Surtis, then in the Revue A, transcultural review, literature action, published by Marsa and in the journal Méninge. And in the GLAD magazine! on gender, language and sexuality.
