D’AYITI EN HAITI, LA LIBERTE CONQUISE

VILLE DE PAIMBOEUF

En partenariat avec la Ville de Paimboeuf et l’association « Quai des Arts et du patrimoine paimblotins », l’association « Les Anneaux de la Mémoire » a organisé une exposition sur la traite négrière et l’esclavage à Paimboeuf, ville membre de l’Alliance des Anneaux de la Mémoire.

En complément de l’exposition « D’Ayiti en Haïti, la Liberté conquise » qui est actuellement présentée dans la région Pays de la Loire, les Anneaux de la Mémoire ont réuni des éléments traitant du rôle de la ville de Paimboeuf dans la traite négrière et y ont intégré certains panneaux de leur exposition pédagogique sur l’histoire de l’esclavage. Ce choix de conjuguer les rétrospectives du passé d’une région européenne moteur de la traite et d’un pays dont l’histoire s’est forgée à travers l’esclavage, a permis de construire une exposition dynamique, posant plusieurs problématiques au public d’aujourd’hui.

The Shackles of Memory Association have launched their new program of conferences, held by the Shackles of Memory's Center for Study, and developed in partnership with the University of Nantes.

We look forward to seeing you at these free conferences, open to all.

The Association and the University of Nantes are proud to introduce the theme for the 2010/2011 conference cycle:

Slavery in the Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic Worlds

The aim of these conferences is to expand the study of and research about the slave trade and Atlantic slavery on the one hand; but also to deepen the process of reflection on slavery as part of the larger human history with other cases of slavery and slave trade throughout the world.

These conferences will be led by research professors and scholars specialized in the study of these questions.

"FROM AYITI TO HAITI, FREEDOM GAINED"

TOWN OF PAIMBOEUF

As part of its partnership with the town of Paimboeuf and the “Quai des Arts et du Patrimoine paimblotins” Association ( Association for the Arts and the Cultural Heritage of Paimboeuf) , the Shackles of Memory Association recently set up an exhibition about slavery and the slave trade in Paimboeuf, a member town of the Shackles of Memory Alliance.

In addition to the « From Ayiti to Haiti, Freedom Gained» Exhibition, which is currently showing in the Pays-de-la-Loire Region , the Shackles of Memory Association gathered substantial information on Paimboeuf's role as a town engaged in the slave trade and incorporated a number of didactic panels from its pedagogical exhibition on the history of slavery.

This choice of combining the retrospectives of the past of a European region which used to be a driving force in the slave trade and of a country whose history is so deeply related to slavery, made possible the creation of a fascinating exhibition, rich in topical debates.
