Tania de Montaigne in a word, a gesture and a silence
Fighting against being assigned to a group because of the color of your skin is the great subject of his life and his literary career.
The writer Tania de Montaigne was born to a Martinican mother and an American-Congolese father, in Draveil, in the Paris region.
Known for her acclaimed books, such as “The Assignment: Black People Don’t Exist” and “Black, the Little-Known Life of Claudette Colvin”, she now gives substance to her ideas also in the form of a comic strip, a play theater, film or immersive installation in augmented reality.
