Program Description
The project envisages a residency period for the artists in Venice, a masterclass proposed by Julien Creuzet and a series of initiatives aimed at creating a moment of exchange and encounter between the three artists and the city of Venice, both islands belonging to a vast archipelago that carries within itself an intricate network of relationships and connections to the world. The residency period will culminate with the opening of the exhibition in which the visitor will have the opportunity to confront that historical, sociological and cultural imprint that has profoundly marked the space and body, the plural and contradictory identity of a colonial society that constantly questions its origins, its affiliation and territorial status as a French island in the broader and more complex sphere of the Caribbean archipelago, its becoming in the globalised space of the Americas.
