MSU Film Collective: Choeurs atlantiques

A promotional image featuring the text 'CHŒURS ATLANTIQUES' in large, dark grey letters, with the subtitle 'TALES FROM THE ATLANTIC BEYOND' in smaller white letters below it. The background is a scenic beach where three people—a woman in a yellow dress with a red headwrap and two shirtless men in light-colored pants—stand on the sand looking out at the ocean. A line of brown seaweed stretches along the shoreline. The bright blue water features gentle white waves, and in the distance, there is a large, rounded rock island in the ocean and a steep, lush green mountain rising from the coastline on the right under a partly cloudy sky.

MSU Film Collective: Choeurs atlantiques

(Safoi Babana-Hampton, 2025)

Presented by Safoi Babana-Hampton

“Chœurs Atlantiques” explores how Black and Afro-descendant artists engage with the historical legacies of the slave trade, slavery, colonialism, and racial injustice and how they use their art to advance our understanding of this history. It takes viewers on an immersive memory journey to three continents, beginning at the Bay of Diamant in Martinique and traveling to Guadeloupe, France, and Senegal, shining a light along the way on what it means to be Black in today’s globally interconnected world.
