Palmyra, a palm grove that lived to the rhythm of the caravans but also served as a marching post for the Roman Empire in its fight against the Persians, reached its apogee under the reign of Zenobia. Conqueror of Arabia and Egypt in the name of the Levantine god Baal, but wanting to make her son a Roman emperor, Zenobia was a key political figure on both sides of the Mediterranean in the 3rd century AD. Wifek Aouinet will tell us her story and the different facets of her legend that she left behind in the West and the East.
Wifek Aouinet has a doctorate in classical philology and was formerly a classics teacher in Strasbourg. She is now Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) in Malta, where she teaches French as a foreign language (FLE). She also works as a cultural mediator for the UNHCR.
To celebrate International Women’s Rights Day on March 8, the Alliance Française de Malte-Méditérranée is highlighting 5 portraits of French women artists.

In the Highlands of Mayotte, a space of secrecy, magic, and escape, men and dogs share a filial, almost fusion-like bond, a companionship between species that share the same territory of transformation and autonomy. Smogi has a special relationship with dogs, but also with the power of the elements, nature, and the mischievous spirits that inhabit it (the djinns). Djo encounters different belief systems in a wild syncretism, where the call to Muslim prayer also marks the moment of reunion with the animist and impure forces of the forest.
