Global figures of Haitian art and longtime friends, Edouard Duval-Carrié and Frantz Zéphirin, come together to discuss their practices, shared histories, and homeland. The conversation will touch on the stories presented in Zéphirin’s newly opened exhibition, The Messenger, and Duval-Carrié’s permanent installation at the Museum, The Indigo Room, along with the connective threads of memory and spirituality that run through both. This is a rare opportunity to hear two preeminent artists speak intimately about the forces that have shaped their art and lives.
Time: 3 – 4 pm
