Songs, Stories and Identities: Creolization across the Caribbean and the U.S. South

Join us for a discussion exploring the cultural continuum between the Caribbean and the Gulf, with a focus on post-plantation societies, musical traditions, carnival practices, and the complex notions of “créole” identity. Inspired by Édouard Glissant’s concept of the Tout-monde, the conversation will delve into the interconnectedness of cultural expressions across the Americas. Our distinguished panelists—Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes, musician and cultural ambassador from New Orleans; Mélissa Laveaux, Haitian-Canadian singer-songwriter and Villa Albertine resident; and Bertrand Dicale, French journalist and author specializing in Creole music—will share their insights and experiences.
