Contributor to Emile Rabaté’s France Télévisions documentary Les statues de la discorde, released in May 2021.

I contributed viral footage I filmed and edited of activist actions involving, among others, Seumboy Vrainom (Histoires Crépues), Françoise Vergès, and Vikash Dhorasoo on June 18, 2020, during the tagging and “draping in black” of the statue of Marshal Gallieni on Place Vauban in Paris.

“In France’s overseas territories, as well as in metropolitan France, activists and intellectuals engaged in the fight against racism are confronting the material traces of the past — including statues. By denouncing the presence of certain monuments and street names, vestiges of slavery and colonization, they call for recognition of a silenced history and a more just society. In Martinique, Paris, and La Réunion, they challenge the symbols of the colonial legacy, taking their cause even before the courts.”

The action called for the statue’s removal from public display and its relocation to a museum or a contextualized setting, rather than its continued glorification in the streets of France.

As of November 2025, this demand remains unfulfilled.
