Soleils de la Conscience, named after Édouard Glissant's Soleil de la Conscience, is a poetic cultural event based on the figure of Zétwal and his incredible project. Placing poetic expression at the heart of the event, it is based on the idea that poetry embodies a magical and emancipating force. Its ambition is to shine a spotlight on the current voices of Afro-Caribbean poetry, to offer a space for revaluation and rich expression. The second part of the evening, Kouté sé soley la, is a moment of oral declamation. This poetic moment is accompanied by an exhibition dedicated to emerging French-speaking artists from the West Indies, whose visual work unfolds multiple imaginations and experiences.

The "Soleils de la Conscience" zine published as part of this project will be available for purchase. It brings together texts by some twenty poets from the French West Indies and Guyana.
