Martinique
An exhibition titled 'Aux origines de la Caraïbe. Taïnos et Kalinagos' opened on December 13 at Fondation Clément in Martinique. Designed by the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, it traces over six thousand years of history of the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, decimated at the start of the colonial era. Anette Sanford, leader of the Kalinago community from Dominica, hailed the event as a living heritage.
