Memorial Impressions

The Musée de l’Homme proposes a new collective photographic exhibition with lectures, meetings, screenings and concert around the theme of slavery throughout history.
Impressions Mémorielles is an exhibition that brings together the work of 10 French, African and Brazilian photographers on the theme of the slave trade and slavery: Céline Anaya Gautier, José Bassit, Robert Charlotte, David Damoison, Claudio Edinger, Mirtho Linguet, Fabrice Monteiro, Samuel Nja Kwa, Véronique Vial and Adolphe Catan (1899-1979).
Each of them offers an artistic and contemporary look on a subject long repressed, occulted, denigrated. It is a matter of understanding, tracing the traces of slavery through places, manifestations, stigmata and what in time marks the slave trade. After centuries of unequal, unjust and abominable treatment, we must demystify and instruct.
The opening date of the exhibition at the Museum of Man, May 10, corresponds to the commemoration day of the abolition of slavery. To commemorate is to pay tribute.
Putting the image at the service of the encounter means recognizing and rehabilitating. Around the exhibition, writers, poets, musicians, historians, storytellers exchange with the public so that speech can be freed in the service of collective intelligence.
