EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION
The HCX Collection pulls forward the work that the HCX network of artists and makers have exhibited or contributed to the organization over the course of its history. Either gifted following exhibitions, as a way to rally support, or maintained in our safe haven, the organization has preserved and shared these vivid gifts of creative generosity.
Ranging from installation photography to original paintings and limited edition prints, this collection highlights exchange, innovation, and creative excellence of the Haitian community.
Join us to view the collection and bring home a piece of Haiti Cultural Exchange history.
The HCX Collection builds off Haiti Cultural Exchange’s current digital and print archive initiative. Spanning the period from 2009–2022, Haiti Cultural Exchange (HCX) is highlighting the vibrancy of the Haitian community, culture, and heritage in a printed anthology and web project.
The online digital archive will feature unique documentation of the creative movement in New York City’s Haitian cultural community. View the online archive preview here!
This archive of Haitian arts and culture aims to not only document Haiti Cultural Exchange’s history, but to provide future generations access to tangible evidence of their rich heritage by preserving the contributions of those who have walked with us.
We will be sharing numerous key works and cultural events with the public through various forms of media, including:
- 15,000 photos documenting presentations of music, dance and theater performances, humanities themed conversations, and visual art exhibitions.
- 40 videos of recorded conversations with scholars, artists and other humanities-based experts as well as multidisciplinary performances.
- and 20 written works by scholars and writers exploring the importance of Haitian art and culture to the lives of the Haitian Diaspora community.
HCX is delighted to present The HCX Collection as part of our expanding Vizyon Atistik programming in the new HCX Gallery.
