    Titre : GRAFFITI in Da Silva Museum of Arts and culture, Porto Novo, Benin.
    Lieu de la prise de vue : Bénin
    Extrait de : Cham, la mémoire vivante
    Type : Photographie - Noir et blanc
    Description : Although, according to Urban-Karim-Elisio da Silva’s story, he was a descendant of a slave trader, on his father’s side, he rather identifies himself as a descendant of a slave, through his mother’s family, Paraiso. In his case, being the descendant of a slave becomes a source of pride and generates a political capital, in order to increase the legitimacy of his museum. Porto Novo, Benin

    Description : Mito Daho Kpassenon is a member of one of the oldest families of Benin, heir and descendant of King Kpassé, the first one to make business with the Europeans, particularly through the slave trade, when the Portuguese arrived in the Benin Bay around 1580. “According to the oral tradition, KPaté, one of the king’s servants, was fishing crabs on the shore when he saw white people on the beach. He took them to King KPASSE, and from that day they started trading,” tells King Kpassenon. In the early 1990s, relying on the cultural and religious exchanges established during the period of the Atlantic slave trade, and in parallel with the debates aimed at developing the Slave Route Project, he joined the project “Ouidah 92”, the world festival of voodoo culture. Like the president Songlo, by promoting the Vodun religion and the exchanges between Africa and the Americas, he presented slavery and the Atlantic slave trade not as a rupture between generations, families, and traditions but as events that produced continuity across the Atlantic. Ouidah, Benin.

    Titre : Honorè Feliciano DE SOUZA, CHACHA VIII in the memorial of Chacha I, Ouidah.
    Lieu de la prise de vue : Bénin
    Extrait de : Cham, la mémoire vivante
    Type : Photographie - Couleur
    Description : Honore Feliciano de Souza is the current head of the Aguda community and the direct heir of Don Francisco Felix de Souza, Chacha I (1754-1848), the foremost middle-men in the slave trade between the Kingdom of Dahomey and the Europeans, early XIXth century. To honor their ancestor, the family has a memorial in Singbomey, with the tomb of Chacha I. This memorial existed for many years, but became accessible to the public only in the 1990s. Paradoxically, slavery heritage official projects also helped to promote the memory of the slave merchant Francisco Felix de Souza. According to Honore Feliciano‘s unlikely opinion, “the Chacha was not involved in such a slave trade as this. At the time when the Kingdom of Dahomey was killing people, he preferred to take them to Brazil to make them work. He was in fact saving people and that is the reason why today there is some admiration for him,” he says. “Nowadays, no one would want to be a Chacha. Being Chacha is facing many hardships. I haven’t chosen to be one. On October 1995, everyone gathered here and I was appointed Chacha VIII, I cried that day. It’s a life-long mandate.” Ouidah, Benin.
