Departmental Archivesalways so responsive during national events, organize a theatrical stroll through their premises. A fun way to discover the archives in a different way.

The municipalities are part of the dynamic of Reading Nights and offer their citizens unmissable meetings:

Terre-de-Haut in Saintes: The youth and culture center is organizing an evening of reading stories and extracts from local and national authors.
This will be given in Creole and French and will have the theme of common heritage around the Creole language and the history of the city Terre-de-Haut and its carnival. Alongside this reading, a meeting with the poet Raymond Joyeux will take place, a moment combining sharing of favorites, exchange of books and carnival activities.

Capesterre of Marie-Galante:

The Ti Marie Galantais – Teveka association is organizing two evenings of readings of texts by Caribbean authors, mainly from Guadeloupe and Marie-Galante, around the tangible and intangible heritage of its islands. The public will be able to discover touching texts and participate in stories, which could become the intangible heritage of tomorrow. The reading will be open to all and followed by informal discussions.
Short documentaries on built heritage, such as Habitation Roussel, and intangible heritage, such as gwoka, will also be presented. A film will retrace the history of the lolo man pépé who will host the event, one of the last lolos in activity. The atmosphere of lolo and traditional meals, such as the Bébélé and the Chaudage typical of Marie-Galante, will enrich this experience.
