We are excited to announce the opening of the exhibition “LEGACY – (Re)constructing New Narratives,” which will take place from May 3 to May 30, 2025 at the Fond d’Art Contemporain in Guadeloupe. This exhibition is part of the European project LEAP – LEgAcy in Progress.
Join us as we explore the legacies of the Atlantic slave trade and colonial slavery through virtual reality installations and audiovisual works by engaged artists, including:
Sonjé by David Gumbs
Explain me what you know, if it doesn’t bother you? by Magalie Mobetie
My Ray of Sunshine by Laís Andrade
The Private Portraits by Gombo
The Words of Negroes by Sylvaine Dampierre
LEAP is a project co-funded by the European Commission that seeks to stimulate a broad and comprehensive reflection on the historical truth surrounding colonial legacies.
Organized by Gerador (Portugal), Les Anneaux de la Mémoire (France), Groupe de recherche Achac (France), Pro Progressione (Hungary) and BJCEM aisbl – Biennale internationale des jeunes créateurs de l’Europe et de la Mediterranée (Belgium).
