Morne Fortune

The Inniskilling Monument, erected by the British colonial government atop Morne Fortune in St. Lucia, commemorates a 1796 victory over the French. Yet for many islanders it also stands as a monument to their enslaved ancestors who took up arms alongside the First Republic. Challenging received histories, Mara Chavez and doris duhennois assemble testimonies on celluloid and digital scraps into an alternative monument.
