Summary

Elatiana Razafimandimbimanana explains how, during her childhood, from Canada, Madagascar and Kenya to France, she experienced multilingualism, which in turn led her to co-construct pluri-artistic practices with students from New Caledonia. Deeply affected by being "impure" in her own linguistic practices, she defines an ideology of purity spread around the world and how she turns to art to empower her plurilingual students.
