Chiquet Mawet

After a long illness, Mawet committed suicide on 4 July 2000, at the age of 62.

In 1999, a documentary film was created about the experience of the Collectif17.

In 1998, Mawet gave a good account of the anti-political spirit of this period: “Except ideological autism, we can understand the motivations of those who strive to constitute a force of political opposition (…) However, it is difficult not to note that 'from the moment when individuals come together in an organization aiming for power – even a very small piece – they cease to be in phase with those they claim to represent and inevitably end up instrumentalizing them: in their head, voters, grassroots activists, union members are quickly reduced to fuel for their race.”16.

At the end of the 1990s, she contributed to the creation of the Collectif Chômeur, Pas Chien! in the Liège Region 13.

Composed of unemployed people and various associations, the Collective proposes "to implement concrete actions to denounce discriminatory practices" that the new regulations (of the 1990s) install against the unemployed. For the Collective, deprived of employment, the individual is driven out of the democratic space and is confined to the status of sub-citizen14,15.

Woman of commitments Libertarian Alternative: in the 1990s, columnist and polemicist, she regularly collaborated with the monthly Alternative Libertaire. She published dozens of texts there18.

In 1989, she was a founding member of the association Silence, les Dunes! which brought together around ten artists from the Verviers region.

Chiquet Mawet (born Michelle Beaujean; 23 January 1937 – 4 July 2000) was a playwright, storyteller, poet, social activist and professor of ethics. Part of the generation between Stalingrad 1942 and May 1968, Beaujean, at 20, was fascinated by the hope of self-managed socialism (Titoism) in Yugoslavia. At 30, she became a pioneer of the anti-nuclear movement in Belgium. At 50, she flirted with anarchists.
