Organised by curators Annabel Guérédrat and Henri Tauliaut, with the aim of combining the theory of performance art history and performance itself, the International Performance Art Festival in Martinique (from 1 to 10 May 2025) brings together art critics, academics, and performers from Europe, the Caribbean, North America, and Latin America.
For the 2026 edition, FIAP Martinique aims to explore contemporary issues using the Caribbean as a critical lens. The themes include: caregiving, queerness, engaging with Afro-diasporic and Amerindian worlds, and merging with nature. The working languages are French and/or English and/or Spanish.
