During the months of February and March, HCX collaborated with MoCADA on two events from the “Re-Imagining Haiti” exhibit at MoCADA.
During the first event on February 23rd, Haiti Cultural Exchange co-presented with MoCADA to host Literary Salon: featuring Haiti Noir by Edwidge Danticat. The new anthology is a powerful collection of stories and folklore brought together by the award-winning Haitian-American author, Edwidge Danticat. A few of the contributing authors, Ibi Aanu Zoboi, Josaphat-Robert Large, Katia D. Ulysse and Marie Lily Cerat were able to read from the book and speak about their work in relation to the idea of “re-imagining” Haiti.
On March 3rd, HCX co-presented again with MoCADA for Cinematheque: Re-Imagining Haiti. The event hosted a screening of two films to highlight the work of exhibiting artists, Michele Stephenson’s, One Day, One Destiny (2010) and The Other Side of the Water (2009) by Jeremy Robins and Magali Damas. The filmmakers were on-site for a post-screening discussion.
