Collection

The Edouard Glissant Art Fund has the objective to promote access to - and dissemination of - the Édouard Glissant art collection. This collection is comprised of about 200 artworks, mainly from artists' bequests, including around a hundred in the collections of the Memorial ACTe museum, in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe, Caribbean).

This collection was created throughout Édouard Glissant’ s life, thanks to his friendship with artists and to the M2A2 (Musée Martiniquais des Arts des Amériques / Martinican Museum of Americas Arts) initiative.

M2A2 Martinican Museum of Americas Arts

M2A2 Martinican Museum of Americas Arts (Musée Martiniquais des Arts des Amériques) was designed by Édouard Glissant, based on his art collection, today mainly bequeathed to the ACTe Memorial museum in Pointe à Pitre (Guadeloupe, Caribbean). Part of this collection was presented at the Mémorial ACTe, from December 2017 to April 2018. Édouard Glissant would have liked the creation of a place dedicated to art, both a Caribbean arts crossroads and a projection on world aesthetics. On two occasions, the collections of the project museum were presented in Paris, in 1999 and in 2004. Today, the Edouard Glissant Art Fund includes in its objectives the access promotion and dissemination of the Édouard Glissant art collection, through nomadic projects, and in connection with new artists generations.
