The video dialogo 1, AS.SAU.PA.MAR. Akiyo y Voukoum is a video diptych showing an investigation about two activist associations on internet using common search tools:

-AS.SAU.PA.MAR of Martinique is an association for the preservation of the environment dealing with the a colonial hierarchy still in place.

-Akiyo and Voukoum of Guadeloupe is associations formed by ex-independentist militants that stopped their fight in the 60’s due to the french government threat. Involved in the cultural field as a space to continue their identity fight, they succeeded to create a social phenomenon of repurposing and upgrading guadeloupean cultural elements like the creole language and the gwo ka dance.
