Remembrance of the Slave Trade and of its Abolition

23 August: International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and of its Abolition (five perfs)
Theme: In partnership with a project by UNESCO, August 23, 2010 marks the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and of its Abolition. The night of 22 to 23 August 1791, in Santo Domingo (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic) saw the beginning of the uprising that would play a crucial role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. The International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is intended to inscribe the tragedy of the slave trade in the memory of all peoples. In accordance with the goals of the intercultural project "The Slave Route", this project should offer an opportunity for collective consideration of the historic causes, the methods and the consequences of this tragedy, and for an analysis of the interactions to which it has given rise between Africa, Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean. Submissions are sought from mail artists throughout the world.
No jury, No returns, No sales
