Marjane Satrapi 🇮🇷

Who is Marjane Satrapi? -


Salut à tou.te.s,


Peu d’artistes peuvent se vanter (boast) de réunir des domaines de conversation aussi variés que l’art, la littérature, le cinéma, la politique, la religion, la société et le sport. C’est le cas de Marjane Satrapi. Avec son chef-d’œuvre (masterpiece) de la bande dessinée « Persépolis », adapté au cinéma en 2007, elle traite de la relation entre les femmes iraniennes, leurs voiles (veils) et le gouvernement après la révolution islamique. Et enfin, on parle de sport parce qu’elle est l’artiste sélectionnée pour dessiner la tapisserie officielle des Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024.

And finally, we're talking about sport because she is the artist selected to design the official tapestry for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
