Yes, Etel Adnan's life is a weaving, the weaving of origins, Greek by her mother, Syrian by her father. The weaving of cultures and languages in the Lebanon of the French Mandate, where she was born in 1925, where Arabic, French, Greek, Armenian, Turkish, and English co-existed. The weaving of artistic practises. For some time, Etel Adnan stops writing in French in solidarity with the Algerian struggle for independence ; she then becomes an American poet, in the San Francisco of the Sixties, where she starts painting and weaving.
