***********THE SEARCH FOR SOLID GROUND: RE-IMAGINING HAITI***********One Day Conference********* Brooks HAll
This conference will bring together Haitian scholars and activists in order to discuss the contemporary political landscape in Haiti and the possibilities for social reconstruction. Rather than presenting Haiti as a political vacuum to be filled, we will examine past and current efforts by Haitians to organize and empower their communities in the context of what is often characterized as a failed state. The conference will end with a multimedia presentation by Haitian Artist Edouard Duval Carrié.
Organized by the UVA Haiti Working Group and the Magnitude Collective

5:00 PM CLOSING EVENT: Haiti Beyond Bounds: A conversation with Haitian Artist Edouard Duval Carrié
(MONROE HALL 130)
Haitian painter and sculptor, Édouard Duval Carrié was born in Port-au-Prince and lived in Puerto Rico, Montreal, and Paris before moving to Miami where he is actively engaged with the Haitian community and the promotion of Haitian culture and art. His art combines Haitian vodou, African fables, classical mythology, world history with contemporary events. In his brightly and provocative paintings, Édouard Duval Carrié appropriates and transforms visual elements of vodou to reinvent and reformulate the past and present.
The Haiti Dialogue Series is sponsored by: the Page Barbour Lecture Series, the South Atlantic Initiative, the Frank Batten School of Leadership, the Special Lectures Committee, the Carter Woodson Institute, Department of Anthropology, Department of French, Department of Religious Studies, Department of English, Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics, the McIntire Department of Music, the McIntire Department of Art, Studies in Women and Gender, Latin American Studies, Office of International Programs, the Vice Provost for Faculty Recruitment and Retention, Graduate Student Diversity Programs in the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the Office of African American Affairs.
