Ocean where stars light can reflect

Céline VALETTE — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 10:00:38 +0000

As you may know, the solar eclipse is happening this weekend—a perfect time for stargazing as the stars make their grand return. In one of my books, Carmin Will—a lecturer and astronomer living in Los Angeles—meets Detective Charlène Wright in Silver Lake. Back in the 80s, he spent some time in Chile, where he visited an observatory. Indeed, almost every book I’ve written contains a hint of the next one.

Esperança : a theater or cabaret piece.

Documentaries : how to enlight a topic ?

Céline VALETTE — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:00:18 +0000

June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, and this event is celebrated internationally. This week, after work, I watched a remarkable and very moving documentary at the public library : “Little Girl.” As you may know, I write fiction, which doesn’t mean I’m not interested in people’s lives or what challenges society. This documentary is a portrait of a child whose wish, from the age of four, is to be considered a girl, even though she was born in a boy’s body. She faces obstacles but is very supported by those around her. This portrait, almost like a biography, makes us think and sheds light on gender dysphoria from a child’s perspective, a subject more often discussed by adults. The documentary doesn’t follow a series of shots; it’s more of a chronological narrative with key moments and an evolution toward a less conflicted situation. This documentary is a true story, and the film lasts just over an hour.

Freedom for press

Céline VALETTE — Sun, 03 May 2026 04:00:03 +0000

How can we not think about press freedom today? may 3rd has been proclaimed by the UN as World Press Freedom Day to celebrate: the fundamental principles of press freedom, to assess press freedom around the world, to defend media independence, and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Listening to podcasts, reading newspapers, and staying informed through other formats via free and independent media are essential for maintaining our critical thinking skills. Long life for freedom !

Accessibility and artistic scene certificate

Céline VALETTE — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:19:46 +0000

As part of my professional development this year, I have completed the “Accessibility and Performing Arts” certification program; a big thank you to the entire team. This course is part of a professional training curriculum offered by the Autonomous University of Barcelona and developed under the European Erasmus+ ACT project (Accessible Culture and Training); this certification enables me to offer you new expertise in my role as a coordinator.

I will soon be attending a webinar where the European Disability Forum (EDF) and expert speakers will provide guidance on making your events as accessible as possible for people with disabilities. We will focus specifically on accessibility in the performing arts. Participants will share a list of recommendations and resources for professionals.

Skills my offers.

A noisy spring

Céline VALETTE — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 11:02:11 +0000

On spring, several events will take place, including a march in Paris. Throughout the week, there will be activities all over the world to mobilize for biodiversity. Personnally, I would like to say I love organic food and when it’s possible I prefer to walk, bije or public transportation. While this propose aren’t directly related to the literary content I usually write on this site, I felt it’s important to share it :

Spring of poets 2026

Céline VALETTE — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:30:23 +0000

For the Spring of Poets and World Poetry Day, escape for a few moments with a poem.

You can also read in your garden after visiting your public library or bookstore to extend this pleasant moment 🙂

Afterwards:

This afternoon, I read an article from the feminist revolutions journal *La Déferlante* to a young man. The article recounts the exile and oppression experienced by Bushra Alzoubi and how she returned to Syria to visit her sister, from whom she had lost contact. This article, along with photos, is in issue 21, page 26, February.
