Karelle Ménine

Franco-Swiss author Karelle Ménine explores in her work our relationship to literature and the world of images. Her passion for archives regularly leads her to delve into personal or anonymous documents.

She holds a degree in contemporary history from the Université Jean Jaurès in Toulouse and in journalism from the Institut de Journalisme in Paris. She has worked as a reporter for France Culture and Swiss public radio (Radio Suisse Romande). She has collaborated several times with the Avignon Festival, and her book La Pensée, la Poésie et le Politique (Les Solitaires Intempestifs, 2015) was adapted for the Comédie-Française in 2020, revived in 2023, and then taken on tour.

She has published two books about her interventions in public space (La phrase. Une expérience de pensée urbaine and Voyage entre les langues, both published by Gallimard).
