For the second edition of TOUT-MONDE FESTIVAL, the Caribbean Contemporary Art Festival in Miami (March 13-17, 2019), “Echo-Natures”, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, in partnership with the France Florida Foundation for the Arts and French Arts Associates, and the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence/Getting to Know Europe, present an exhibition on “Echo-Natures: Cannibal Desire” curated by Jean-Mark Hunt (Guadeloupe) and Marie Vickles (U.S.) from March 16 to April 17, 2019.

Cannibal Desire respond to the powerful pulsions, longings, and fantasies of a violence from another time. In this project, the dimension of power defines an ambition, which aims at multiplying new sensations and experiences, free of any rule and form of control. The impetus of cannibal desire thus becomes a state of consciousness, a way to consider the world. The Cannibal Desire exhibition is composed of 11 Caribbean artists, who share an emerging artistic international journey. Through some selected paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, videos and performances, the curator Jean-Marc Hunt, tries to explore a poetic state of transe, similar to an unlimited fantasy with all sorts of possibilities.

ImageTOUT-MONDE-FESTIVAL is an initiative of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the USA, in close partnership with the France Florida Foundation for the Arts. The Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence, through its grant 'Getting to Know Europe' is patnering with the French Embassy in the USA.

This is the second edition of the Tout-Monde Festival, the Caribbean Contemporary Arts Festival in Miami, dedicated to promoting insular, continental and diasporic Caribbean contemporary artists from all fields: visual art and performing arts – including dance, music and theater – as well as film and academics, with a goal to deconstruct stereotypes and unite territories and individuals with different roots in one “All-World”, in the spirit of the father of the concept of the “Tout-Monde”, the Martinican poet, philosopher and author Edouard Glissant (1928-2011).
