HEAD – Genève, the Geneva School of Art and Design, offers specialized programs in fine arts, cinema, interior architecture, visual communication, and fashion. Its campus is spread across several locations, with the historic Bâtiment D—its original building—located near the Geneva train station. This space hosts workshops, lectures, and exhibitions throughout the year.
Adèle Yon, author of Mon vrai nom est Elisabeth (2025) and a researcher in film studies, began writing during her PhD within the SACRe research-creation laboratory. Born in 1994 in Paris, she investigates, writes and cooks.
Her reading and conversation with Emmanuelle Pireyre examine the book’s hybrid forms—autobiographical narrative, road trip and essay—while investigating a family lobotomy in 1950. Yon explores archives, testimony and memory to address heredity, violence against women, twentieth-century psychiatric practices and the secrets of a bourgeois family, revealing personal and historical entanglements.
