the exhibit that I am preparing

questions the Global South
I wanted to confront what was my initial apprehension

with the reality of the American south
so my encounters with students and artists from the American South

have greatly influenced the directions of my work
for the next exhibit

How I apprehended it
and how I confronted this notion
to an American south
which had a different vision from the one I had
This is what will make it interesting
to exchange different points of view
I am Guy Gabon, visual artist, cinematographer and eco designer.
I live and work in Guadeloupe

I am currently in residency at the Clark Atlanta University Art Museum

as part of an exchange program of artists from
the Caribbean islands and the south of the U.S

as part of France Atlanta 2019 I realized a performance
around a theatre play by Alain Foix, "No prison for the wind"

which talks about the encounter between

Angela Davis and Gerty Archimède

when Angela Davis was arrested in Guadeloupe in the 1970s

So I worked with Georgia Tech students

at the Dramatech

I selected some extracts of this text

so with the students we worked on

"putting the text in space" so to speak
around the text and these two characters
