The "Broken Chains" monument is located in Cayenne, French Guiana. It consists of two broken chains — symbolising the liberation of enslaved people — resting on a concrete slab. Inscribed on the slab are the words: "In memory of the victims of slavery and the slave trade, so that such barbarity may never happen again." The work, created by sculptor Jean-Luc Plé, is made of stainless steel and stands 4 metres tall.
The monument is an important place of remembrance for French Guiana. It recalls the history of slavery and the slave trade and stands as a symbol of the struggle for freedom and equality. The broken chains represent the end of oppression and the dawn of liberty; the work is also a call for justice and brotherhood.
The monument was unveiled on 9 December 2011, on the occasion of the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. It was created by sculptor Jean-Luc Plé.
The monument is open to the public and accessible free of charge. It is located at the end of avenue Nelson Mandela in Cayenne.
