Chartrand's Treasured Cigar Box series invites you into a world
of the global slave trade perspectives between Africa, Europe, the Americas,
and America (USA). These multidimensional assemblage cigar boxes (three
boxes) incorporate recycled and found objects, keys, money, and hand
painted paper.
This series bridges the gap by connecting the major Colonial slave trade
shareholders of the New World. Treasured
Cigar Box (series) offers knowledge and research into the
deeper meaning on how the exploitative, atrocious and brutal servitude, and
harvesting of tobacco by circa 12-million African Slaves fueled the beginnings of
the modern day corporations.
