Stories of roots
What we learn while preparing the journey: the territories, the memory of the slave trade, Vodoun as a living heritage, and the dialogue between Benin and the diaspora.
- Territories
- Porto-Novo, Kétou, Savè, Savalou, Abomey, Grand-Popo, Ouidah: what each place keeps.
- Memory
- The slave trade, deportation, resistance, and what families passed on.
- Vodoun
- A living cultural and spiritual heritage, told with the communities.
- Diaspora
- Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Brazil, Haiti: the returns and the ties being renewed.
The first stories arrive with the journey.
In the meantime, the seven-stage journey already tells the essential: who our ancestors were, what happened to them and what they passed on.
