BYENVENI Haitian Flag Day Curatorial Talk with Yvena Despagne & Artists

Haitian-American art curator Yvena Despagne will lead a discussion about *BYENVENI*, The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institution (CCCADI)’s current multimedia exhibition celebrating contemporary Haitian Diasporic art.

This exhibition shines a spotlight on the creative expressions of eleven artists who focus on the theme of *Lakay* (translated as *home* in Haitian-Kreyòl), and explore Haiti as both a cherished internal sanctuary, preserving cultural traditions and religious practices, as well as an external haven, a space of refuge, familial and communal development, a source of boundless joy, and the cornerstone of sovereignty.
