Re-Imagining Haiti
Curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis & Shante' Cozier
On view from January 13th (at CCCADI)
January 20th (at MoCADA) -- May 8th, 2011

On the eve of the one-year anniversary of the earthquake that ravaged Haiti in January 2010, this collaborative exhibition offers contemporary work by artists who are examining the spirituality, aesthetics, and re-construction of Haiti. Through an open call, visual, performing and literary artists -- as well as musicians and filmmakers -- were invited to submit work that is centered on a conceptual rethinking of the cosmological and socio-political conditions in Haiti at the present moment. Over twenty artists were selected to participate in Re-Imagining Haiti featuring works in painting, photography, video, installation, illustration and mixed media. The exhibition will be on view at CCCADI from January 13th to May 8th, 2011 and at MoCADA from January 20th to May 8th, 2011.

This curatorial partnership also marks the upcoming anniversaries of both CCCADI (35th Anniversary) and MoCADA (11th Anniversary). In response to this joint project, Dr. Marta Moreno Vega, Founder and President of Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute, states: "The aesthetic perspective, cultural mission and social justice African Diaspora work of MoCADA and CCCADI make us natural collaborators in reaching the global diversity of African descendants and the broader community...from Africa, the Caribbean, Latin and North Americas. This is the beginning of a continuing partnership." Both organizations are thrilled to start the New Year commemorating Haitian history, culture and the survivors of last year's earthquake.
