Salon Littéraire: “Do You Speak Literature?”

After studying law and political science in France, Elliot Ibouzidene moved to Belgium to pursue a Master’s degree in International Relations at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Following a period at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels, he was admitted to ENSAV La Cambre in the Master’s programme Texts and Literary Creation, where he is currently working on the writing of a novel. The author of several texts, including a first auto-theoretical collection, Fragment(s), his debut novel Fashionably Late is currently in the process of publication. A bookseller, lecturer, and Head of Communication at Filigranes by Mayfair in Brussels, he regularly publishes short literary reviews on social media and takes part in literary events. Among his recent projects is the creation of a French-language writing residency, scheduled for 2026 in collaboration with ENSAV La Cambre. Before defining himself as a writer, he considers himself above all a reader. Deeply engaged with literature and contemporary art, his interests lie at the crossroads of poetry and philosophy, journalism and narrative, pop culture and French Theory, as well as French and American fiction.
