The Three Erzulies / Ezilis yo Twa at the 2nd Ghetto Biennale, Haiti

 

I had the honour of collaborating with Marie Ketty Paul who is both a drapo artist and hounsis (bonus!!) and we created three pacquets kongo. Here are pictures of The Three Erzulies. More biennale photos can be found on my Facebook page. Read about Magalie Marcelin, who I created my pacquet in honour of.

UPCOMING:
2nd Ghetto Biennale, Port-au-Prince, Haiti
November 28th – December 18th, 2011

 

I'm beyond excited to announce that I'll be one of 39 new artists who will be participating in the 2nd Ghetto Biennale. Curated by André Eugène, Jean Hérard Celeur and Leah Gordon, all works will be made in Haiti and presented to the Port-au-Prince neighbourhood communities. I will be collaborating with two Haitian women artists, and my upcoming involvement holds deep, personal significance to me because my art practice is heavily influenced and inspired by so much Haitian ritual. More info, please visit: GhettoBiennale.com and view The Artists of Grand Rue, After the Quake, posted on POSSESSION.

UPCOMING:
Artist in Residence at USF Verftet
Bergen, Norway
September 4th – October 30th, 2012

 

I will be an artist in residence at USF Verftet in the fall of next year, which will give me much needed time to focus creatively. I'm looking forward to checking out the vibrant arts scene in Norway as I have not as yet visited a Scandinavian country. USF Verftet, if I'm not wrong, reminds me of the 401 Richmond building here in Toronto in that the Bergen-based building is a multi-arts hub located in what used to be a sardine canning factory. Nice that it's by the sea.
