MIAMI, FL, November 30, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- With the two year mark of the Haiti earthquake approaching, the tides are moving towards revitalization...through bricks, mortar, and even the culture of its people, undeniably Haiti's greatest natural resource. While the focus up until now has been on building homes for people still living in the tent cities, Jacmel, often described as Haiti's most beautiful city and one of the country's few tourist destinations, is, perhaps, the place of hope where an art revival is also leading to the country's revitalization. During this year's Art Basel, the "Les Jacmeliens 2011" exhibition marks the official launch of the first art exhibition that bridges Haiti's renowned Arts District in Jacmel Haiti with the Art District of Miami.
"Les Jacmeliens" debuts a group exhibition that will feature works by two Haitian artists from Jacmel - Dufo and Carel Blain - together with works by local Haitian-American contemporary artist Reynald Poisson. The exhibition unveils with an opening reception at the Haitian Heritage Museum (HHM) on Thursday, December 1st at 7pm. An intimate Art Talk and cross border dialogue with the Haitian artists will be held on Friday, December 2nd at 7pm. Art lovers will be intrigued by the discussion of the artist's unique expressions that celebrate the shifting tides in Haiti, its Arts scene and its impact in the Diaspora. This platform will bring the country's artistic players to the forefront of Miami's bustling arts movement. The exhibition is being featured at the Haitian Heritage Museum located at 4141 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 105C.
