Opening Reception Le Projet Nouveau: Re-Imagining Haiti Event

In remembrance of the 2010 Haiti earthquake CCCADI and MoCADA join together for a special collaborative exhibit featuring Artists who reflect the spirituality, aesthetics, and re-construction of Haiti.

"Le Projet Nouveau brings together 18 artists whose work presents ideas about the re‐construction of Haiti. The exhibiting artists draw upon political, cultural, architectural and socio‐economic themes to propose what can be offered towards the re‐shaping of the first black republic. The exhibition highlights the aesthetic response of artists to the turbulence that has plagued the nation since it gained independence from France in 1804. The artists in the exhibition use their practices to visualize Haiti's future by re‐imagining the country through its people, its culture, the African Diaspora, and its artistic legacy. Artist featured in the exhibition (in alphabetical order) are: Trevor Brown, Nelson Caban, Rebekah A. Frimpong, Erick Girault, Tosha Grantham, Aaqil Ka, J'Renee, M.
