MEMORIAL MEMORIES
The project
Memorial Memories is an initiative of the City of Fort-de-France to honour, transmit and keep alive the memories of Foyalais memorial sites. Each memorial site carries its own story — that of an event, a struggle, an artwork, a neighbourhood — told in French, Creole, English and Spanish.

Place du 22 Mai — Mémoires Nomades
