Yanick Lahens sur la situation en Haiti
Entretien avec ici-radio-canada :
“Une population jeune qui est aussi ouverte vers l’extérieur avec les réseaux sociaux. Et puis, l’information circule dans toutes les couches de la société.
Les mouvements d’échanges avec la diaspora font que vous avez une population ouverte sur le monde qui est aujourd’hui marginalisée depuis quand même 200 ans, et qui aujourd’hui demande de pouvoir participer non seulement à la vie politique, mais aussi d’avoir accès à un certain nombre de choses comme l’eau, une école de qualité, des services de santé.”
In the present
“What is still to be achieved is the struggle to grasp the surface effects of the present through concepts that articulate the abstract forces that produce them, forces that are not eternal and are not an essence. It can’t be done by means of words alone. Words have to connect to everyday life in all its vulgar glory and idiocy, and right at the point where the emerging forces of production are shaping that everyday life, [d]riven perhaps by quite distinctive forms of class struggle and experience. The means to live and endure otherwise may already have come into existence, fettered though they are by outmoded relations and forms.”
Mckenzie Wark’s The Struggle to Live in the Present in Verso blog.
Allowances
“… art allows us to revisit and remember life by forgetting its linear narrative and by proposing the artwork’s experience as life in a more monumental dimension.”

Feminist Art Coalition
Feminist Art Coalition, a platform for art projects informed by feminisms*. FAC fosters collaborations between arts institutions that aim to make public their commitment to social justice and structural change. It seeks to generate cultural awareness of feminist thought, experience, and action.
Notes on Feminisms, a series of newly commissioned essays : Saidiya Hartman – The Plot of Her Undoing .
Participating Institutions, includes Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) with My Body, My Rules, October 9, 2020–May 9, 2021. and Women Photographers International Congress, a symposium, November 19–20, 2020, led by Aldeide Delgado.
“Working collectively, various art museums and nonprofit institutions from across the United States will present a series of concurrent events—including commissions, exhibitions, performances, talks, and symposia—over the course of three months (September–November) in the fall of 2020, during the run-up to the next presidential election. This strategic endeavor takes feminist thought and practice as its point of departure and considers art as a catalyst for discourse and civic engagement.
Motivated by the ethical imperative to effect change and promote equality within our institutions and beyond, these collective projects will advocate for inclusive and equitable access to social, cultural, and economic resources for people of all genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, classes, ages, and abilities. This cooperative effort stages a range of projects that together generate a cultural space for engagement, reflection, and action, while recognizing the constellation of differences and multiplicity among feminisms.“
