Sébastien B. Gagnon writes in the storm. For him, days of disaster are days when we must act against passivity, against the dome that falls on the population. For him, words are the veins of gesture, enabling us to rise up so that lost days are not lost for ordinary mortals who refuse the silence of collective death. For him, writing is a way of multiplying collaborations.
