It is facing the sea, at the very place where slave ships landed. The location of the work is therefore symbolic, as is the excessive size of the open iron collar representing the freedom given back to the slaves. Six rectangular blocks, like tombstones, are erected around the metal sculpture, and bear the names of those freed after slavery was abolished.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4236b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4236b.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4236b-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4248b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4248b.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4248b-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2291,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3679","lieu-de-memoire","type-lieu-de-memoire","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lieu-de-memoire\/3679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lieu-de-memoire"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lieu-de-memoire"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
