Haiti: History Embedded in Amber
Haitian-born artist Edouard Duval-Carrié leapt into action after the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, establishing the Haitian Art Relief Fund and curating exhibits of Haitian art. He also further integrated disaster into his own widely exhibited art. For his Provost’s Lecture, Duval-Carrié suggested bringing the Duke community together around the idea of disaster in Haiti through a collaborative artwork with students and faculty, completed at the Franklin Humanities Institute’s Haiti Lab over the course of the semester. In “Haiti: History Embedded in Amber,” Edouard Duval-Carrié presents the story and documentary video of this collective response to disaster in Haiti. A reception following the talk features an exhibit of the work.
