We want to let you know that, due to extenuating circumstances, Jean-Claude Martineau (Koralen) will be unable to join us for tonight's Rasin ak Rèv: Roots and Dreams. We know many of you were looking forward to his presence, and we share that disappointment.
We're glad to share that Dr. Patrick Sylvain will be joining this evening's conversation in his place, alongside Dr. Régine Michelle Jean-Charles and Charlot Lucien, for what promises to be a rich dialogue on land, memory, and storytelling across the Haitian diaspora.
As part of the evening, we'll also be presenting a one-time art exhibit featuring the work of Haitian artists. The exhibit is curated by Joseph M. Chéry, Resident Curator of the Haitian Artist Assembly of Massachusetts, and Dumas Lafontant, ML, author and founder of Abarigani. Artists on display include Edna Chéry, Joseph M. Chéry, Gerald Decilien, Myrlène (Mimi) Legendre Desir, Fritz Ducheine, Jean-Claude Sainté, and Jean Patrick Tintin — each bringing a distinct voice shaped by memory, identity, and the Haitian experience.
We hope you'll still join us tonight, Friday, August 28 at 7:00pm in the Blue Wing.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you this evening.
Sincerely,
Museum of Science, in partnership with the Toussaint Louverture Cultural Center of Massachusetts
