SUMMARY:Understanding Haiti’s New Proposed Laws
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Leonie Hermantin\, member of the Center for Haitian Studies’ Board of Directors. \nPresented in Haitian Creole with English subtitles.\nEnglish transcription available for non-Creole speakers \nDuring the colonial era\, Haiti’s Black Code governed the slavery system. Later\, the Civil Code was added to the Black Code with the aim of softening the slavery system. Today\, the Haitian government is proposing a new Penal Code for Haiti – one that would emulate other countries that have adopted a series of laws and principles that govern their people’s behavior regardless of their race\, color\, creed\, or language. Would a new Haitian Penal Code be at odds with our current legal system\, and with our principles and history? In this panel\, political sociologist Jean Eddy Saint Paul and writer Alin L. Hall (La Péninsule républicaine) discuss Haiti’s proposed Penal Code. \nSponsored by \n \n \nand in partnership with

DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Marleine Bastien\, executive director of FANM\, and MJ Fievre\, author of Badass Black Girl. \nPresented in Haitian Creole with English subtitles. \nEnglish transcription available for non-Creole speakers \nThe history of Haiti includes many notable queens and empresses\, such as Marie Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur\, the wife of Haitian general Jean Jacques Dessalines; Marie Louise Coidavid\, the wife of King Henry Christophe; and Adelina Soulouque\, the wife of President Soulouque.

In this panel\, Bayyinah Bello\, author of SHEROES of the Haitian Revolution\, will explore the accomplishments and the considerable political power of these women.  \nSponsored by \n \n \nand in partnership with

SUMMARY:The Hero’s Journey: Two Poets on Reconfiguring the Lyric
DESCRIPTION:The poems of award-winning poet Yona Harvey’s much anticipated You Don’t Have to Go to Mars for Love follow an unnamed protagonist on her multidimensional\, Afro-futuristic journey. Her story stretches the boundaries normally constraining a Black female body like hers. Half superhero\, half secret identity\, she encounters side-slipping\, speculative realities testing her in poems that appear like the panels of a comic book. Music directs readers through large and small emotional arcs\, constantly re-troubled by lyric experimentation. Harvey layers her poems with a chorus of women’s voices. Our hero gets captured\, escapes\, scuba dives\, and goes interstellar\, and she emerges on the other end of her journey renewed\, invoking the gods. \nInspired by Albert Camus’s seminal Myth of Sisyphus\, Major Jackson’s fifth volume\, The Absurd Man\, subtly configures the poet as “absurd hero” and plunges headfirst into a search for stable ground in an unstable world. We follow Jackson’s restless\, vulnerable speaker as he ponders creation in the face of meaninglessness\, chronicles an increasingly technological world and the difficulty of social and political unity\, probes a failed marriage\, and grieves his lost mother with a stunning\, lucid lyricism. \nSponsored by:

En Cumbiana: relatos de un mundo perdido (Planeta) Carlos Vives nos cuenta el origen triétnico de la cumbia en el Caribe\, su nacimiento en las culturas anfibias del País de Pocabuy\, de la Virgen de la Candelaria y San Blas\, de La piragua de Guillermo Cubillos y la magia sonora del maestro José Barros\, del fenómeno mundial de La pollera colorá y de mucho más. \nEn Cumbiana\, relatos de un mundo perdido\, Carlos nos lleva a descubrir el origen de la cumbia a través de un viaje mágico que entreteje la memoria del artista. Este libro es el portal a la reconstrucción de una alucinante nación anfibia que unió su destino en América con la cultura europea y con la cultura africana para dejar un legado musical que ha marcado la historia. \nCon el apoyo del Consulado de Colombia en Miami.
