#Repost @regineromain —— “Nou Pap Bliye” in Haitian Kreyòl means “we will never forget.” On 12 January 2010 a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti and over 350,000 people lost their lives. I was there, three weeks afterwards, brought aid and photographed all that I saw. This commemorative coloring book is based on those historic photos and transformed into beautiful illustrations by Tiffani Gomez, my talented niece. @tigobitti This project seeks to honor those who perished ten years ago in Haiti and to respect those who carry on their memories. Honor! Respek! Jiji #noupapbliye #haiti #haitiearthquake #coloringbook #getyourstoday #tiffanigomez #RegineRomain https://www.instagram.com/p/CH4QqhJDYE2/?igshid=uvl20wtstthd

Haiti | February 2010 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 📷 | Atibon Nazaire @twafey ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• repost from @regineromain « I am her storyteller, offering insight into the lives of Haïti ‘s extraordinary yet often marginalized and misrepresented people. I look into the black space, into the black face that is often overlooked. People of color are analogous to the black space in the negative of a photograph. We are often the backgrounds that allow the foreground to be seen.  I share the remarkable stories of my people to dismantle this paradigm. The multiple tragedies of January12, 2010 in Haïti connected the Haitian diaspora into one large family in a way I have never seen or felt in my lifetime. Accordingly, when we watched the news coverage of members of our extended Haitian community being rescued after two weeks or a month under the rubble, we cheered and gave thanks as if it were our very own kin. Our tears and prayers were unified with those of the world, as we continued to anxiously await more good news from a country that has already endured so much hardship since its independence from French rule in 1804. The aftermath of Haïti’s horrific earthquake also brought an avalanche of stereotypical images that were dispersed throughout the global media, depicting Haitians as nameless, lost bodies, and disconnected from community. However, in the hands of Haitian people the camera can provide a broader view of our own experiences and histories, often in contrast to accepted media depictions. The “imagined” and the “real” are tightly woven into the fabric of photography. Historically, the images of Haïti throughout the world rarely show what was real in the lives of Haitian people; they continued to perpetuate what others imagined. The need remains for our own gaze to be seen; one that creates honest, dynamic, innovative portraits of Haitian people. » - words I Régine Romain @regineromain ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #haiti #portraits #blackgirlmagic #atibonnazaire #iamastoryteller #regineromain #dominicanslovehaitiansmovement #decolonizeyourmind https://www.instagram.com/p/B47_7V-F2gK/?igshid=v0f57j9zht03

All the things a go on about are the things they killed my ancestors for. For claiming the truth of who they were and living out that truth.

What can you tell us about your methodological approach to this project? In what conditions did you devise and construct this journey? How long did it take you to complete it – if the idea of closure was ever at stake in this project?

This project is an act of will, memory and cultural recovery that is developing a living archive of images, stories and experiences of a spiritual legacy that refuses to be forgotten.

Brooklyn to Benin brings Zora Neale Hurston’s ‘Tell My Horse’ to photographic life, while conveying a feminine vision of Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist.�� Participatory observation and engagement are key methods in gaining knowledge and sharing wisdom gathered on this sojourn.

Photography, ethnographic research, interviews, archival photographs are being gathered to create a book of visual narrative as well as mobile multi-media performances with international performing artists.

When we learned of the story of Soup Joumou it brought so much delight to our lives. Not only because we grew up eating this soup daily and without realizing the story behind it but we are so enchanted with the idea of our forebears after fighting for their lives and independence thinking of ways to solidify their sovereignty. Taking a soup that the French considered only permissible for the elites to consume and not allowed for enslaved Africans to eat, it brings me joy with every mouthful to remember a group of “illiterate, primitive, savage” people rose up and decimated one of the largest Europeans forces of it’s time. And then supported the Dominican Republic to overthrow Spain twice, and went on to support other latin nations. Our hearts fill with joy to know in our blood runs the passion and dedication to fight for liberation. Our liberation doesn’t look like what we battled in the 1700’s and yet we still are fighting to decolonize, dismantle and disrupt the system that laid the ground work for this racialized framework of subjugation we currently live in. So as we sit, meditate and give thanks to our ancestors knowing they fortify us to unravel what has been created. We eat, we bring forth love and we honor our people who loved us above their own lives. When we eat Soup Joumou we are remembering the power we carry within ourselves and in community. Ayibobo!!
