Abstract
In this interview, Jamaican artist Laura Facey presents her background and the biographical elements that led her to make the question of slavery and the slave trade a central element of her practice. Her family was established on a former plantation whose registers, found by her mother, attest to the presence of 63 enslaved women and 67 men. This tragic past is the starting point for a violence that still punctuates the daily life of her society. Facey invests her works with a memorial charge that she hopes will be cathartic.
