MANIFEST, European PROJECT
"MANIFEST: New artistic perspectives on the memories of the transatlantic slave trade"
BELGIUM, DENMARK, FRANCE, HUNGARY, PORTUGAL | 2022-2024
The MANIFEST project is based on two observations: the importance of the work of collective memory and the conviction that art plays a major role and serves as a mediator between individual memory and collective memory. "MANIFEST: New artistic perspectives on the memories of the transatlantic slave trade" aims to contribute to a better understanding of the history and memories, little known or unknown, of the role of Europe in the slave trade, by highlighting the socio-cultural links and impacts in contemporary Europe. Support for contemporary cross-border creation should allow for better visibility, better understanding and renewal in the representation of this history. It is indeed a question of highlighting the involvement of the whole of the European continent and of resurrecting its heritage, tangible or intangible, through a digital platform and contemporary artistic creation.
This project is first of all a project with an artistic dimension which will select between 24 and 36 artists and will include two residencies (Budapest and Lisbon), workshops (Copenhagen) and a final event. (Nantes). In parallel with these artistic creations centered around digital technology and new technologies, a historical and parochial database will be created on the history of the Atlantic slave trade and its legacies in Europe. The alliance of the scientific and the artistic allows a double resonance and makes it possible to rely on a scientific base.
The project is led by five partners from five European Union countries:
KHORA, Denmark . A company involved in digital production around virtual reality and augmented reality.
CUMEDIAE, Belgium . An association committed to the development of cultural projects, media education and creative industries.
GERADOR, Portugal . An association that works on three pillars: access to culture, education and journalism. It offers many events around these themes.
PRO-PROGRESSIONE, Hungary . An artistic center whose objective is to create links on the various cultural and artistic fields at the international level.
THE RINGS OF MEMORY, France . An association that works on the history of the Atlantic slave trade and its legacies through cultural and artistic projects at local and international level.
CREATION OF A DIGITAL PLATFORM ON THE HISTORY AND MEMORY OF THE EUROPEAN TRANSATLANTIC TRADE, 2022-2023
Within the framework of this project, Les Anneaux de la Mémoire is working on a database which must give an account of the history and legacies of the transatlantic slave trade throughout Europe. Without being exhaustive, it must reflect the diversity of sources, heritages and memories and enhance the transversality of content.
