SUMMARY:An n Pale with ALASO #5: Dous [Pleasure/Desire] Contributors
DESCRIPTION:After the launch events in Port-au-Prince\, Cap-Haïtien\, and Montreal for the Haitian Creole/French edition\, NÈGÈS MAWON and Haiti Cultural Exchange invite you on January 28th at 6 p.m. in Brooklyn to the U.S. launch of the Haitian Creole/English edition of the fifth issue of ALASO\, the Haitian feminist anthology of the Haitian feminist organization NÈGÈS MAWON\, titled “Dous” (Pleasure/Desire).\nALASO is a trilingual publication in Haitian Creole\, French\, and English. It serves as a space for feminist expression and dialogue\, promoting the production of critical thought\, debate\, and analysis to make feminist ideas accessible in various formats and modes of dissemination. At the event\, the fifth issue of ALASO will be available in both Haitian Creole/French and Haitian Creole/English editions. Previous issues of ALASO will also be available for purchase. \nThis event will feature a panel discussion with: \n\nNathalie Joachim: Grammy-nominated singer\, flutist\, and composer born in Brooklyn. Nathalie’s groundbreaking works\, including Fanm d’Ayiti and Ki moun ou ye\, bridge Haitian musical traditions with contemporary innovation.\nTafa Mi-Soleil: Haitian designer\, stylist\, painter\, and singer\, as well as a contributor to ALASO #5. Known for her impactful music\, including Mizik sove vi m\, and her debut album Phoenix\, Tafa’s artistry spans disciplines and inspires audiences worldwide.\nTalie Cerin: Writer\, musician\, and translator for ALASO based in Philadelphia. Talie is also the lead editor of Woy Magazine.\nPascale Solages: General Coordinator of NÈGÈS MAWON\nFania Noël: Afrofeminist writer\, sociologist\, and publication director of ALASO.\n\n \n— \nAbout ALASO #5: Dous [Pleasure/Desire] \nThis fifth issue\, Dous [Pleasure/Desire]\, is not an escape from reality but the continuity created by the space that feminist thought represents: holding the line in the face of opposing forces. ALASO\, not being a news magazine or a newspaper\, does not have the imperative to respond to the events of the moment\, but as a feminist anthology\, it must be a space for a moment. Each issue tackles this to shed light on the present and the past but also to act as an archive and serve as a benchmark for the moment of its creation. Dous\, pleasure/desire\, is addressed in this issue on personal\, intimate\, and political scales\, or sometimes all three intertwined. Grounded by the words of the poet and Black Feminist intellectual June Jordan: “Regardless of tragedy\, regardless of the grievance\, regardless of the monstrous challenge. Some of Us Have not Died. Some of us did not die… And what shall we do\, we who did not die?”  Such is the current position of ALASO. \nThe 5th issue of ALASO features works by Andrise Pierre\, Melissa Paultre\, Ruth Darwina Valmyr\, Tafa Mi-Soleil\, Nathalie Joachim\, Myriam Chancy\, Micaëlle Charles\, Thara St-Hilaire\, Anaïse Hector\, and Dashka Charlemagne\, with translations by Gaëlle Bien-Aimé\, Rose-Myrlie Joseph\, Talie Cerin\, Doris Lapommeray\, and Nadine Mondestin. Corine Bond provides the issue’s vibrant artwork. \nHT/FR edition: Available in bookstores in Haiti\, France\, Belgium\, and Quebec\, and online at Syllepse.net. HT/EN edition: Available in the U.S.\, U.K.\, and Canada\, and online at Bookshop.org. \n  \n— \nAbout An n Pale \nAn n Pale | Let’s Talk is an ongoing series of artist talks featuring conversational encounters with artists engaged with issues connected to Haiti and the Diaspora.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on View: Sacred Banners of Haitian Vodou
DESCRIPTION:Join Haiti Cultural Exchange for the opening of Sacred Banners of Haitian Vodou on Thursday\, January 30 at the HCX Gallery. This exhibition will then be on view until Sunday\, March 9.\n  \nOpening: January 30\, 2025\nOn View: Thursday\, January 30 – Sunday\, March 9\, 2025\nThursday – Sunday\, 1-6pm\nWednesday by appointment. \n  \nInspired by 18th and 19th century French church ornaments and army flags\, the Haitian banners started being produced to decorate altars and to be carried around in dancing processions in Vodou Temples. This show includes works by numerous Temples and flag makers\, expressing various artistic styles and beading techniques.  \nCurated from the personal collection of Axelle Liautaud\, which began in the 1980s\, this exhibition features significant flag makers from that era to the present day. \nCurated by Axelle Liautaud \nArtists featured: \n\nAntoine Oleyant\n\nClotaire Bazile\n\nDenis Smith from the Saint Soleil School of Art\n\nDubreus Lherisson\n\nEvelyn Alcide\nEvelyn Beniot\n\nJean Baptiste Jean Joseph\n\nJean Ronald Goin\n\nMaugiris Petitfrere\n\nMaxon Scylla\n\nMireille Delice\n\nMyrlande Constant\n\nRudy Azor\n\nSius Jean\n\nYves Telemaque\n\n— \nAxelle Liautaud \nAxelle Liautaud is a Haitian art historian and curator. She is also a designer who works with artists and craftsmen to create unique items. For more than 30 years\, she has worked to promote Haitian art and crafts in Europe and the United States. Axelle started collecting Vodou Flags in the 1980s and was the first to introduce Haitian Flags to the international market. With Virgil Young\, she organized a collection of beaded artwork in collaboration with great American artists such as Keith Haring\, Alison Saar and others. She has collaborated with many museums on exhibitions of Haitian art—most notably\, the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles for The Sacred Art of Vodou (1995) which traveled to major museums\, including The Field Museum of Natural History\, Chicago\, the National Museum of Natural History\, Washington\, DC\, The Museum of Natural History\, NY\, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Axelle has been the curator of exhibitions at the Museum of Naive Art in Paris (Halles St. Pierre) (1988)\, as well as the Organization of American States in Washington (1999)\, and the Bass Museum in Miami for the Allegories of Haitian Art exhibition\, where the filmmaker Jonathan Demme’s collection was put on display (2006).  \nAxelle has been a member of Le Centre d’Art’s Board of Directors since 1997 and became Acting President following the 2010 earthquake\, the death of Francine Murat\, and the collapse of the Centre’s building. After the earthquake\, she led efforts to rescue the collections from the rubble\, including 4\,000 paintings\, more than 1\,000 sculptures\, 500 works on paper\, and the largest art and cultural archives in Haiti. In collaboration with the Smithsonian Haiti Cultural Recovery Project\, the art and documents were preserved and eventually returned to the Centre d’Art. As president of the Centre\, she organized the Piasa Art Auction in Paris in 2017 and curated the Jasmin Joseph show that opened in Port-au-Prince in 2016 which traveled to various museums in France. Axelle stepped down from her role as President at Le Centre d’Art in 2021. \n
