SUMMARY:Zarita Zevallos | Uprooted: Haitian Diaspora and Displacement.
DESCRIPTION:On view now in the HCX Studio is an exhibition by Zarita Zevallos entitled Uprooted: Haitian Diaspora and Displacement\nUprooted: Haitian Diaspora and Displacement explores the impact of ongoing challenges faced by Haitians\, particularly in the context of gang violence\, financial and political instability.  Through visuals and interactive installations\, visitors are invited to witness the reality and struggles of the Haitian community forced to flee their homeland in search of safety and opportunity\, as they navigate displacement\, adapt to new environments\, and strive to preserve their cultural heritage. “Uprooted” sheds light on the complexities of forced migration\, highlighting the human experience behind the headlines and offering a poignant reflection on solidarity\, resilience\, and the pursuit of a better future amidst adversity. Recently\, over 600\,000 people were displaced due to gang violence; and over 12\,000 refugee camps currently exist throughout the capital. Drawing on the words of Frantz Fanon “Sometimes the eyes of a nation are opened suddenly\, and they see that their entire structure is rotten and that they must begin again.” \nOn view until November 17th\, 2024\nHaiti Cultural Exchange\, 558 St. John’s Pl\, Brooklyn NY 11238\n \nGallery Hours\nThursday – Sunday\, 1pm–6pm\nWednesday by appointment only. \n— \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nZarita Zevallos\, a Haitian Photographer and Architect based in Brooklyn\, New York\, is renowned for her distinctive artistic approach. Her work merges hand editing and superimposing photographs of darker-skinned bodies with powerful materials like thread\, bullets\, glass\, and barbwire\, among others. Through her art\, she delves into themes of identity\, gender roles\, crimes committed by nations\, non-conformism\, and political or ideological authoritarianism. Her objective goes beyond denouncing\, educating\, and raising awareness. She aspires to ignite movement and incite change\, pushing the limits of expression and inspiring transformative action through her thought-provoking creations.

SUMMARY:Haiti x New York Vodou Song Workshop featuring Renette Désir
DESCRIPTION:Join Haiti-based artist Renette Désir for a traditional Vodou song workshop to learn and sing heritage rhythms as part of her Haiti X New York residency.\n  \nSaturday\, November 2\n3-5pm\nRegistration required | Limited Capacity \n  \nRenette Desir’s lifelong dedication to her country and its culture has produced unique and powerful collaborations with cultural icons including her mentor Yole Dérose\, Jean-Claude Martineau\, and Pierre Rigaud Chery. Strongly influenced by gospel songs she grew up singing\, she is similarly drawn to the Jamaican reggae her brother made resound throughout their house. Later\, her traditional dance practice with Haiti Tchaka Danse introduced her to the pantheon of Haitian folk rhythms. This diversity in genres undoubtedly shaped her music to reflect a style of her own. Désir recently released her third album\, a collaboration with Fiorini titled “YO ANPIL”. \n  \nHaiti X New York (HXNY) is a program of week-long residencies that brings Haiti-based artists to New York to present their work and engage with Diaspora and broader NYC audiences. \nArtists participate in workshops\, panel discussions\, and culminating presentations. HXNY narrows the physical and cultural distance between Haitians and Haitian-Americans and lends new insights to historical and current concerns of Haitians in and out of the Diaspora. At the same time\, the program introduces New York audiences to Haitian artists with whom they may not be familiar. \n
