The Rockefeller Foundation and Haitian Artists
In 1948, three Haitians became Rockefeller Foundation Fellows: Jean Chenet for museum studies, and Maurice Borno and Luce Turnier for painting. These fellowships were absolutely groundbreaking for several reasons: foremost that the Rockefeller Foundation had never before granted fellowships in museum studies or to visual artists, and their granting lent credence to Haiti's burgeoning art scene. Artistic renown requires institutional support throu…
Revealing the ‘trends and confrontations’ of contemporary African-American art through the First World Festival
In 1966, Dakar, Senegal hosted the First World Festival of Black and African Culture (FESMAN) and invited black nations to curate exhibitions for this first major Pan-African festival.

La diaspora en dialogue
Jusqu'à une date récente, les historiens de l'art américains spécialistes de l'art haïtien - collectionneurs et artistes - développèrent leur réflexion en dehors des cercles académiques. Dans un premier temps, l'histoire de l'art haïtien fut donc élaborée dans un cadre intellectuel particulier par des individus dont les goûts et les intérêts personnels déterminèrent la nature des questions qui surgirent du dialogue avec les artistes haïtiens et l…
