Miss Supranational Côte d’Ivoire 2023 National Costume

My country is a cultural treasure, both in its traditions and ethnicities. N'zassa is known as a cultural brew, which is why my national costume was designed to value the rich Ivorian heritage. This Baoulé cloth that I'm wearing is one of the most beautiful African fabrics. As its name suggests, it is made by the Baoulé people, a majority ethnic group in Côte d’Ivoire representing 30% of the population. The sacred mask on the back is called *GOLY* The Goly originates from the Wan people. The one I carry on my back is the Le Gloin (the father) considered as the protective father, he keeps the village from all evil. It is cut out of hardwood The Goli Mask is a supernatural being that appeared during important events such as chiefs, initiates and depositors of the mask; as well as during conflict settlement. His appearances require sacrifices to conjure evil. He also appeared at the birth of a "goli" baby to dance so that the latter could receive a blessing. Similarly, the Goli can go out during a day's festivities involving the entire village but without losing its sacred character. My Orange raphia skirt, is the symbol of the power of the KROU people of the west Côte d’Ivoire, it is used on big occasions. I celebrate the northern culture of my country with this hat usually worn by virgin girls of the Senoufo people to perform the dance *N'goron* which is an initiative dance of the northern peoples of the Côte d’Ivoire.

“I situate this project within the emerging and burgeoning field of queer African studies. Though there is still some debate about the applicability of the term queer to same-sex practices and desires in Africa, it has been the case that, at least for the past decade, the word queer has been widely used by those on the continent as a mode of thinking through and about diverse, nonconforming African sexualities and of challenging heteronormative assumptions.”

Le premier roman d'Antoine Catel raconte la relation entre un frère et sa sœur. Un frère, le narrateur, qui n'aura pas pu éviter la mort par overdose de sa sœur. Poignant.

    En deux mots C’est l’histoire d’une mort atroce, par overdose. C’est l’histoire d’un frère qui n’a pas pu ou su protéger sa sœur de son addiction.
