As part of the 2022 European Heritage Days, the Karib'Cultur association invites you to participate in an introductory workshop on clay work, in the premises of its gallery and workshop Karib'Design.
Karib'Cultur is a platform that aims to contribute to revitalize the process of Mixing Cultures and Civilizations in the World Society, through cultural diversity, intercultural, transcultural and eco-cultural dialogue. The purpose of the association Karib'Cultur is to contribute through research and actions, to a better living together and a better understanding between individuals, as well as a greater harmony between peoples. It’s about adding the cultural, educational, and wellness element. Our multiple roots allow us to question this heritage which can refer to a being knowledge and a know-how. A people’s culture can be a counterweight to the uniformity of the world, which requires respect for other ways of thinking. Native American heritage questions our heritage. Karib'Cultur has set itself a mission to re-appropriate and enhance this Amerindian heritage, a fundamental component of Martinique’s syncretic identity and more broadly Caribbean. This syncretic identity made up of multiple contributions that have merged according to the creolization process well described by Edouard Glissant and symbolized in the works of Wifredo Lam. The reappropriation and enhancement of these different components of the Caribbean cultural heritage and identity are part of a theoretical approach resolutely post-colonial.
