Bio
Douce Dibondo is an essayist, poet, and performer. Through the exploration of writing as spirit, she delves into the theme of Blackness, intertwined with queerness, feminism, ancestry, and decoloniality. Through her breaths, she attempts to tear through the veils of the Western worldview. She thus invokes a multidimensional present, in perpetual revolution, through fiction, essays, poetry, and performance. She is the author of two poetry collections, métacures (2022) and infra/seum (2023) published by Blast, and an essay, La Charge Raciale, Vertige d’un silence écrasant (2024) published by Fayard. Douce is also the co-founder of Extimité, a podcast which opens doors of intimacy to multi-minoritized LGBTQ+ people, allowing them to tell their life’s story.
