AFTERIMAGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF COLONIAL ENSLAVEMENT
MANIFEST culminates in an exhibition showcasing the project’s final artworks in Nantes in September 2024. The exhibition aims to provide an innovative perspective on the history and legacies of the transatlantic trade of enslaved people, placing art at the heart of the evocation of memories and legacies. Through the works presented, MANIFEST’s twenty-two artists aspire to reconcile individual and collective memories and preserve them from oblivion by employing new technologies such as virtual reality, podcasts, video, and sound and image art to offer visitors a comprehensive, immersive experience. By associating these forms of distribution with the history of the transatlantic trade of enslaved people, MANIFEST aims to make artistic creation and historical storytelling accessible to as many viewers as possible.
