"Isidor's exhibition aims to redefine Haitian art by blending contemporary narratives with personal stories, challenging stereotypes, and modernizing Haitian and Haitian American identities."
"This month-long exhibition serves as a tribute to Isidor's late aunt, Yolette, using mixed-media collages that combine family memories with the rich landscapes of Haiti."
Brooklyn's ANSAMN art exhibit, opening April 25, features Haitian-American artist Mel Isidor, showcasing her 'Roots' series on billboards throughout the city. Celebrated for Haitian Heritage Month, this month-long exhibition features mixed-media collages that blend family photographs and landscapes of Haiti, paying homage to Isidor's late aunt, Yolette. Curated by Yvena Despagne of Art x Ayiti and presented by SaveArtSpace, the project seeks to challenge traditional folkloric stereotypes and reframe modern Haitian and Haitian American identities within a contemporary context.
