Past Event

Pérez Art Museum Miami’s (PAMM) Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI) presents a reading group session inspired by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich: Too Bright to See (Part I), a film installation focusing on the legacy of Martinican writer Suzanne Césaire, currently on view at PAMM.

Participants will think through Suzanne’s writings in a space for collective reading and reflection on her literary work and legacy. The session will be led by scholar Annette Joseph-Gabriel and film curator and writer Dessane Lopez Casell, who will guide and encourage a generative conversation around Suzanne’s work. The session also includes a poetic offering by Martinican poet and writer Simone Lagrand. 

During this reading group session, we will focus on a selection of essays from the book “The Great Camouflage: Writings of Dissent” (1941–1945), written by Suzanne Césaire.
• “The Great Camouflage” (pp. 39-46) 
• “Alain and Aesthetics” (pp. 11-18) 

Participants will receive a link to the selected reading material upon registration.
