SUMMARY:Vizyon Atistik | CLOSING RECEPTION with 2Cent | Rasin San Bout | Roots Without End
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the closing night of Rasin San Bout | Roots Without End: Artists in Dialogue with Sounds of Haiti from the Alan Lomax Archive. \n2Cent arrives at the final evening of the exhibition for sonic fusion sets representing the soul of this exhibition. \nClosing Night Reception\nSunday\, November 15\, 2026\n4–7pm\nHaiti Cultural Exchange\n35 Lafayette Ave. Brooklyn\, NY \n  \nAbout 2Cent | Website \nDavidson Toussaint (2Cent) is a Haitian-American DJ\, music producer\, and cultural producer whose practice explores the intersection of electronic music\, Haitian cultural memory\, migration\, and collective gathering. He is the creator of Lakou House\, an evolving artistic framework connecting contemporary electronic music with Haitian rhythm\, storytelling\, and the communal spirit of the lakou. \nHis multidisciplinary background spans music production\, artist and tour management\, event production\, and cultural programming\, including work with Manito Nation\, Kolo\, Riva\, Tafa and Michael Brun through BAYO. Through projects such as GRIOT\, 2Cent explores how sound\, place\, visual language\, and performance can carry memory while creating new expressions of Haitian identity within global electronic culture. \nToussaint designed the soundscape for the Rasin San Bout exhibition. \n—\nAbout the Exhibition \nWe are excited to announce our forthcoming exhibition in collaboration with the Archive of Alan Lomax (1915-2002)\, a pioneering ethnomusicologist for over six decades. From 1936-1937\, at the urging of heralded African American anthropologist and author Zora Neale Hurston\, Lomax traveled to Haiti to record the nation’s music and rituals on behalf of the US Library of Congress. \nThe Association for Cultural Equity\, which stewards Lomax’s archive\, selected 40 essential recordings from the nearly 50 hours of recorded sound from Haiti. Building a conversation between the past and present\, HCX invited visual artists of Haitian descent to respond and connect their own work through an Open Call.  \nFrom textiles to film\, the artists selected evoke both personal and resonant responses to the recordings that most spoke to them — from lullabies to Rara\, from the sacred to the Konbit. The exhibition will feature curated pairings of recordings and artwork\, connecting their modes of communion and communication over time and place. \nCurated by Régine M. Roumain and Micaela Walker \n— \nFeaturing the work of:\nLaïssa Alexis • Love Aritus • Marie Casimir • Megan Delianne • Stephanie “Philomen” Dorceant • Jennica Drice • Sydney Rose Maubert • Christopher Mitchell • Marie Guilloto Stuppard • Zarita Zevallos \nSoundscape by Davidson Toussaint \nTechnical support provided by ENU Builds \n   \n— \nLearn more about the exhibition and artists here » \nJoin the artists & curators for other activations taking place as part of this exhibition »
