- Curating the Unspeakable: the Case of Slavery
- Jean-François Manicom, artist and curator at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool/UK

- This presentation aims at identifying the challenges and strategies for curating traumatic histories such as the Transatlantic Slave Trade. After an outline of the role of archival research and historical knowledge in the design of the permanent collection of the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool and the Memorial ACTe Museum in Guadeloupe, Manicom will focus on the key impact of contemporary art as a platform for developing emotional knowledge, empathy and commitment among the public.

- Jean-François Manicom is the curator of the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool/UK. He holds a Master's Degree in Arts and Cultural Management from the IESA (Institute of Superior Arts), Paris. He worked as curator of the permanent collection of the Memorial ACTe in Guadeloupe/French West Indies, which is the first memorial site dedicated to the history of slavery and to the expression of contemporary Caribbean Art in the region. In 2015, he directed and curated the first Caribbean Festival of the Image that showcased the works of 41 contemporary artists from the Caribbean. With an expertise on photography, photographic archives and contemporary visual art, Jean-François has curated multiple exhibitions since 1998 that focused on the visual archives of slavery and its legacies in contemporary post-plantation societies, in France, in the Caribbean and in the UK. He is an internationally prized photographer, whose work questions the universal enigmas of our nowadays, in a world where multiple and fragmented pasts challenge our power to imagine new possible futures.
