Haiti Cultural Exchange Collaboration | AQ/ArtQuake

The Haiti Cultural Exchange and AQ/Artquake are hosting the art prints of a select 10 whose work deals with the issue of Haitian Culture and the Earthquake of 2010. "A year ago the earth adjusted itself and in a fearful momentary growl reduced as many as 300,000 Haitians into unceremoniously buried flesh. Countless others would bear the trauma of this unspeakable horror in the disfigurement of their bodies and, both within and outside of Haiti, in the shock registered in their memory. If before this tragedy most Haitians had little difficulty in apprehending   “les invisibles” and, in their own way, the various forces in their universe, their post-earthquake consciousness must render their external world more than just merely visible.  For the mind, as a meaning-making entity, is forever attempting to refashion the various levels of reality that come within its purview." http://haiticulturalx.org
