Symphonie carcérale - Petites et grandes histoires des concerts en prison #[nn]

From Steinkis comes this warm-toned graphic work by writer Romain Dutter and artist Bougé, exploring the remarkable world of live music performed inside prison walls. The cover sets the scene beautifully: a close-up of a shaved-headed man in the foreground gazes outward with quiet intensity, while behind him a three-piece band — guitarist, bassist, and drummer — plays within what appears to be a grand institutional interior. Symphonie Carcérale promises both the small and grand stories ("petites et grandes histoires") of concerts in prison, making it a compelling 2018 read for anyone drawn to the unexpected intersections of art, community, and confinement.
