Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring prominent members of the Haitian Artist Assembly of Massachusetts (HAAM). This event delves deep into the intersections of migration, culture, and the arts within the Haitian community, viewed through a multi-generational lens as Haiti celebrates its 220 years of independence. Our esteemed panelists include Charlot Lucien, Myrlene Legendre Desir, Duken Delpe, and Joseph Chery, with Nadege D. Tessono Okotie, M.Ed., serving as the Moderator.
This conversation promises to be a captivating exploration of the Haitian art scene in New England. We'll highlight the transformative power of art in preserving cultural heritage, addressing current humanitarian issues, and shaping future narratives. It's an opportunity to celebrate the resilience and vibrant spirit of the Haitian community through the lens of its artists.
Expect to engage in a diverse range of topics that illustrate the rich tapestry of Haitian artistry. The panel will provide insights into how migration has influenced artistic expression, the role of art in community engagement, and the challenges and triumphs experienced by Haitian artists in New England.
Don't miss this enriching experience that promises to deepen your understanding of the Haitian cultural identity and the influential role of art in shaping community narratives and building bridges across cultures.
