This memorial depicts a pedestal which is supporting a wide pan of sugarcane and gold coins.  At the bottom of the pedestal is a set of handcuffs that are wrapped around the pedestal.  This memorial relates back to the overall project as it is a figurative representation of slavery in Colombia.https://csuepress.columbusstate.edu/historyfrombelow/1007/thumbnail.jp

This is whymen and women were brought to Cartagena. It was a sugarcane producing andprecious metal mining area (especially gold). In Cartagena de Indias, over 1.1 millioncaptive Africans entered the docks to be presented in some markets. The choiceabout gender was made during the market.An estimated 12 million africans crossed the Atlantic to South America and America in the slave trade and Plaza de los Coches became an authorized center for the children slavery. Adults and children were unwilling participants within the slave trade that had a variety of  sources. Children found themselves enslaved as prisoners of warfare and in some parts, kidnapping was a very popular recruit method for children. The recruiters did not really care about the age, as they recruited  whoever they could.Agehttps://donde.co/cartagena/articles/slavery-route-cartagena-de-indias-27287 By Fabien Asdrubal, Gabriel Williams, Alvaro Regalado
