The history and memory of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery in Nantes is transmitted and promoted by many actors: associations, artists, local authorities, enthusiasts.

This work, initiated by the exhibition "Les Anneaux de la Mémoire" in 1992 and amplified since, has brought to light the history of Nantes in relation to Africa and the Americas. Through the experiences of three actors from Nantes, this round table is an opportunity to come together and discuss the prospects of tomorrow.

With the intervention of:

• Olivier Château , deputy mayor of Nantes, heritage delegate (City of Nantes),
• Michel Cocotier , former president of the Memory of Overseas association,
• Yvon Chotard , founder and former president of the Rings of Memory,
• Mathilde Bouclé-Bossard , president of the Rings of Memory.

  Presentation and moderation: 

• Thierry Guidet , journalist, founder and former director of the Revue Place Publique.
