Ghetto Biennale, Haiti
This work was a collaborative project for the 2nd Ghetto Biennale 2011, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, between myself and drapo artist/Hounsis Marie Ketty Paul, who has been running her atelier for 30 years. It is in memory of two Vodouisants from the Belair neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince and Haitian women's rights advocate/co-founder of Kay Fanm (Women's House — Haiti's first shelter for battered women) Magalie Marcelin who was from Jacmel.
