Palimpself A sculptural investigation into materiality in the works of Annie Ernaux
Palimpself is an exhibition of new visual artworks by the artist and academic Susan Diab that explores the relationship between language, memory, and materiality in the work of Nobel prize-winning French author Annie Ernaux.
Designed for and displayed in the Byre's foyers, it coincides with the first English-speaking conference on Ernaux's works — Annie Ernaux's Years: A Global Perspective (1974-2024) — as well as the School of Modern Languages' Festival of Languages.
The project is developed by Dr Élise Hugueny-Léger of the School of Modern Languages, in collaboration with Dr Fabien Arribert-Narce of the University of Edinburgh.
It is supported by the University of St Andrews Impact and Innovation fund.
