Olivier Marboeuf ^(FR)

Olivier Marboeuf is a storyteller, curator, and film producer from Guadeloupe. In the 1990s, together with Yvan Alagbé, he founded Amok (now Frémok), a research comic book publisher, and then Espace Khiasma, a center for visual art and living literature (2004–18) on the outskirts of Paris, focused on minority representations. He currently shares his work between speculative writings, drawing, and film production within Spectre Productions. He recently published the essay “Suites Décoloniales: s’enfuir de la plantation” and the poetry book Les Matières de la Nuit, both with Éditions de Commun (Rennes). He is the 2023/24 Banister Fletcher Global Fellow in Urban Studies at the University of London Institute in Paris. In the context of the fellowship, he will explore the Caribbean’s multiple contributions to the urban lives and infrastructures of London and Paris.
