📣 MANIFEST AFTERIMAGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF COLONIAL ENSLAVEMENT 📣

Image description

🗓️ September 19th - October 6th, 2024

📌L’Atelier, 1 Rue de Châteaubriand, Nantes (FR)



It is with great pleasure that we announce the upcoming Exhibition of Project MANIFEST – an immersive experience that combines art, reimagination, and mixed media!



After two years of fruitful exploration, cross-border exchange, and conversation around our shared past, the co-creation Journey that brought the artists and the production partners involved in Project MANIFEST across three different countries is approaching its final chapter - the presentation of the Final Exhibition. Through 13 artworks, visitors are invited to re-discover the traces of Colonial enslavement and engage deeply with the past through a modern, immersive lens. The exhibition places artistic exploration and experimentation across mixed media at the heart of the evocation of these historical legacies.



🎨 13 artworks by 22 international artists: discover how artists and collectives coming from 13 countries and diverse backgrounds engaged and experimented, and in some cases went deeper into the historical archives around the transatlantic trade of enslaved people, and colonial enslavement.



📹 An immersive, interactive experience: delve into the history and legacies of the transatlantic route through mixed media art, including virtual and augmented reality works, and video, sound and image installations.



📚 Historical, artistic and digital fusion: explore how the Exhibition integrates artistic and digital creation with historical storytelling to make the history of the transatlantic trade of enslaved people accessible to all.



📲 For more information and updates, stay tuned to our official channels.



We look forward to welcoming you to the MANIFEST Exhibition in Nantes!

AFRICAN COURTIER TATI-DESPONTS, ON THE ANGOLAN COAST, IN THE LATE 18TH CENTURY
