Bonjour Tout Moun!
The project is coming together slowly but surely. Jean Elie and I have met several times to discuss the theoretical framework of the project rooting it firmly in the readings of Homi K Bhabha, bell hooks, and Franz Fanon. I have been doing research in Jean Elie’s extensive library. He is an authority on Haitian history and a wonderful host!
We have one fabulous actor, Gran Lakou choreographer Yonel and are looking for one female actor and a drummer for the performance in Port au Prince. The performance date is still to be confirmed.
We have also teamed up with FOSAJ artist Macarthur to assist in making papier machet masks to be used in the final performance.
Jean Elie and I will go to the Jacmel countryside within the week to collect stories for our project.
Mezi Anpil!

Yesterday Roberto, Joyce and I interviewed residents of Port-au-Prince around the Grand Rue and Champ de Mars about the notion of occupation, and the several meanings the word has in relation to contemporary Haitian life. We’ll be uploading some video and photo clips soon, as there were some very interesting ideas that were brought up throughout the day.
We decided to create printed materials to paste around Port-au-Prince as a form of artistic occupation. Above is one design.
