Seminar ‘History, memories and heritages of slavery’
5th and 6th December 2022

The Foundation for the Memory of Slavery, in partnership with the Education Authority of Reunion, is holding a seminar entitled “History, Memory and Heritage of Slavery”, to take place on 5th and 6th December.

Conferences, exhibitions, documentary resources and teaching tools will be presented to teachers of all subjects registered for the seminar, which will be deliberately cross-disciplinary: slavery will be studied through different viewpoints – historical but also artistic – and will involve music, visual arts and comic strips. The wealth of the program will make it possible to confront different viewpoints and the topics covered will also include indentured labour.

The seminar will be held at heritage and cultural venues made available by our partners of the Regional and Departmental Council: the Departmental Archives in Saint-Denis for the first day, followed by the Villèle museum and the Stella Matutina museum in the west of the island for the second day.
