Temporary exhibition| History

2007, Espace Cosmopolis, Nantes

The exhibition traces the history of the Haitian people from 1492 to 1992. Carried out at a time when Europe was preparing to «commemorate» the fifth centenary of the Meeting of the Two Worlds: Commemoration for some, no doubt.  Remembrance for others, necessarily. Discovery? Conquest?  The exhibition tries to answer the question by giving the floor to those who never have it. Thirty Haitian painters were invited to tell 500 years of the history of their people, its sufferings, its victories, but also its hopes, beyond so many tragedies.
