Lisenn Béchir
Born in Vevey in 2001, she is a maladjusted pupil who draws all day to stop herself dying. To learn how to live, she trained as a set designer in a workshop active in the cultural scene in French-speaking Switzerland.
At the age of 19, she started at the École Supérieure de Bande Dessinée et d’Illustration de Genève, a course that culminated in the self-publication of an album: ‘Allô Maman Beau Beau’ (winner of the Prix SCAA, finalist for the Prix Töpffer de la Jeune BD). At the same time, she moved into an old Geneva squat. To this day, she lives, silkscreen prints, laughs and dreams in this manor of irreducible punks.
Zazie Sans
A recent graduate of Geneva’s École Supérieure de Bande Dessinée et d’Illustration, Zazie Sans is a young trans author with a passion for comics. She sometimes scribbles humorous strips, sometimes projects full of queer, feminist and anti-carcenary reflections.
La Pomme Galère
Through our personal experiences, we have witnessed the multitude of experiences that make up precariousness. To symbolise this, we’ve chosen to depict a wide range of faces and emotions, interwoven in a gradation of yellow and blue, which, visible from afar, blends into the green of the apple. A food need that we all share.
For us, solidarity also means facing up to the harsh reality of the difficulties and suffering that define precariousness. We didn’t want to create a consensual, sanitised image that would speak only to art dealers, but a work in which anyone could find a familiar face – particularly the Foundation’s beneficiaries.
Straddling the municipalities of Lancy and Carouge, the Centre Commercial et de Loisirs La Praille is home to almost 70 retailers and is one of the largest shopping centres in the canton of Geneva. It maintains an important link with the Fondation Partage, hosting one of the main collection points for the Samedis du partage, thus contributing to local solidarity.
