Alcina Ribeiro Hamdi
Montreux / Switzerland
Alcina Ribeiro Hamdi, born in 1985, in the heart of the Swiss mountains. After a brief spell at university in Barcelona studying translation and interpreting, she decided to leave the benches to study various alternative and mystical therapies in order to understand the human being and his powerful resilience in a holistic way. Exploring the inside as well as the outside by traveling allows her to write more alertly.
She co-created Éditions À l’Envers, putting her hands in ink to print precious art books in intaglio. Then, for a time, she ceased her publishing activities and embarked on a long journey, inspiring a project of videos and poems read aloud, as well as several writings. The company was then renamed Éditons Larguer les Amarres. She has published two collections of poems, “froissée” followed by “aurore”, and is launching a series of texts set to voice, the first of which is available on Spotify and elsewhere.
