Painting to Resist, Creating to Hope is an eight-month visual art project by Haitian artist Rénold Laurent, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The project will create three monumental mixed-media works on canvas, approximately 5 × 3 meters each, through public artistic performances in Cap-Haïtien, Jacmel, and Pétion-Ville, Haiti.
Using acrylic paint, reclaimed textiles, fibers, charcoal, paper, pigments, earth, and other materials, Laurent explores memory, violence, displacement, resistance, identity, dignity, resilience, and hope.
Each phase includes a participatory workshop, public conversation, artwork presentation, and documentation. The three completed works will later be presented together through exhibitions and public programming in Haiti and Cambridge/Boston.
Your support will help fund art materials, travel, artwork transportation, workshops, exhibitions, public programming, and documentation.
Help bring these three monumental works to life and build a cultural bridge between Haiti and its diaspora.
