Haiti in the Collective Imagination
As the first post-colonial nation to be liberated and governed by members of the African Diaspora, Haiti represents a site of a rich history. But even as it fills the news due to politics or natural disaster, music or culture, the question often remains: What is Haiti? What is the relationship of the idea of Haiti and the reality lived by the Haitian people?
Haiti in the Collective Imagination seeks not to answer that question with a singular response but to propose numerous possibilities.
The issues to be addressed include but are not limited to:
Colonial History
Religion
Artistic Heritage
Imperial Haiti
Foreign Relations
People and Places
As part of Black History Month (February 2011), The Gallatin Galleries seeks proposals of work by artists, journalists, filmmakers and others in any medium. The show will take place in February 2011 as part of the celebrations and events looking at Haiti as a part of Black History Month.
