Regine Romain "Portraits for Self Detemining Haiti"
A.I.R. Gallery
This event has ended.
Régine Romain photographs and researches Haiti's shifting yet distinct presence throughout the world in an ongoing visual diaspora project. Her work is grounded in individual and community portraiture. This exhibition bridges two compelling views: Romain, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, as the composer of portraits on Haitian life rarely seen, and the reality of Haiti as a self-determining nation - a principle historically rooted in the people's DNA as resurgent hope.
Portraits for Self Determining Haiti is an exhibition of vibrant photographs of Haiti, three weeks after the 7.0 earthquake that killed more than half a million people. The world psyche is awash in distorted narratives of Haitian people and society, and Romain's acts of visual resistance stoke the collective imagination and keep new ways of seeing alive.
Artist Talk with Regine Romain: January 5 at 6:30pm.
