The logo : Le Marron Inconnu (The Unknown Runaway Slave)
Sculptor: Albert Mangonès, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 1968
In Port-au-Prince, capital of the Republic of Haiti, stands a monument erected to celebrate a hero whose name is not remembered: the first African “maroon” of the New World. In this homage to the anonymous hero of an oppressed race, the artist wished to convey a more universal message: that throughout history and beyond all regional boundaries, humanity’s destiny is freedom.
The man represented in this sculpture (bronze, 3.40 meters long by 2.60 meters high) is a half-naked fugitive. At his ankle, the bracelet of a broken chain, his right knee on the ground, his left leg stretched back, his torso arched, he holds in his left hand the conch in which he is blowing to alert his brothers and sisters, his face turned upward toward the sky. In his right fist leaning on the ground he holds a machete bearing the artist’s signature. The conch symbolizes the rallying call to fight for freedom, the machete is the symbol for armed revolt and the broken chain represents rupture from bondage.
A detail from this famous sculpture will be our definitive logo for the ACURIL 46th conference in Haiti.
Le logo : Le Marron Inconnu
Sculpteur: Albert Mangonès, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 1968
A Port-au-Prince, capitale de la République d’Haïti, se tient un monument érigé pour célébrer un héros dont le nom n’a pas été retenu: le premier Africain “marron” du Nouveau monde. Dans cet hommage au héros anonyme d’une race opprimée, l’artiste a voulu transmettre un message bien plus universel: qu’à travers l’histoire et malgré les limites régionales, la destinée de l’humanité est la liberté.
L’homme représenté dans cette sculpture (bronze 3,40 m de long par 2,60 m de haut) est un fugitif à moitié nu. A sa cheville, le bracelet d’une chaine cassée. Son genou droit est au sol, sa jambe gauche est étirée à l’arrière, son dos est arqué, il tient dans sa main gauche le lambi (coquillage) dans lequel il a soufflé pour alerter ses frères et sœurs, son visage est tourné vers le ciel, dans sa main droite il tient une machette où se trouve la signature du sculpteur. Le lambi symbolise le cri de rassemblement pour la lutte pour la liberté, la machette est le symbole pour la lutte armée et la chaine cassée représente la rupture de l’esclavage.
