In 1992, Les Anneaux de la Mémoire (The Shackles of Memory) was an exhibition which was focused on the city of Nantes, France and its role and complicity as a trading port along the route of enslaved people in the 18th century. The exhibition was such a success that it became an association in Nantes that to this day publishes journals, researches and curates memorials and exhibitions, and commemorates people who were enslaved in the Western slave trades. To expand our discussions about the memorialization and commemoration of slavery outside of the US, we have the honor of speaking with Researcher, author and Vice President of the association, Jean-Marc Masseau, Project Coordinator, Barbara Chiron, and Secretary of the Les Anneaux de la Mémoire association, Christine Renard in this episode.
This is one of three of our episodes that discuss the topic of memorialization and commemoration of the innumerous lives taken and impacted by the Atlantic slave trade. Please be sure to listen to the two other episodes in conversation with the Equal Justice Initiative which operates the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, and The Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana, the first slavery museum and memorial in America.
This episode is brought to you by Dr. Stephanie Arel and produced by Shrine13.
