Shuck One (Replay)

Shuck One. Xav Delfosse

By: Yasmine Chouaki

He is an aggressive artist with an artichoke heart. Shuck One is his name as a graffiti artist. Pioneer of graffiti, born in the midst of Guadeloupe independence, we owe him an urban aesthetic, but we also owe him to dip the shirt and brushes for the memory. If I dared, I would take you well to Pointe-à-Pitre, up to the ACTe Memorial (Caribbean Center of Expressions and Memory of the Slave Trade and Slavery), in other words the first museum of slavery: Shuck One signed a monumental fresco entitled L'Histoire en Marche which retraces the epic of Louis Delgres and Joseph Ignace. Shuck One has designed an original project: Mémorial Acte I & II, the first vinyl connected for the memory of slavery, readable on a turntable, a smartphone or an application. Yes, in G Major still digs in the holds of the 170th anniversary of the abolition of slavery ... Holes of memory, refrain.
