Haitian Identities and Caribbean Aesthetics/ Idantite Ayisyen Ak Estetik Karibeyen
In English with simultaneous interpretation into Haitian Creole
This panel of four Haitian women writers will address the impact of their Haitian and Haitian-American identity(ies) on their writing and the ways they navigate (hyper)visibility and erasure to honor Caribbean aesthetics. Join Marilène Phipps, author of Unseen Worlds, Katia D. Ulysse, author of Mouths Don’t Speak, and Fabienne Josaphat, author of Dancing in the Baron’s Shadow, as they discuss the ways in which their writings respond to cultural presumptions about Haitian identity. Moderated by Edwidge Danticat.
Idantite Ayisyen ak Estetik Karibeyen
Panèl sa a gen ladann kat fanm, ekriven ayisyen, ki pral pale de efè idantite ayisyen yo (ak idantite ayisyano-ameriken) yo genyen sou ekriti yo, epi yo pral diskite kijan yo jere sa yo rele “(ipè)viziblite” ak “efasman” pou onore estetik karibeyen an. Vin jwenn Marilène Phipps (otè: Unseen Worlds), Katia D. Ulysse (otè: Mouths Don’t Speak), ak Fabienne Josaphat (otè: À l’Ombre du Baron) pou yon deba sou jan ekriti yo tradui idantite ayisyen an e reponn a sa lòt moun panse de kilti nou. Animatè: Edwidge Danticat.
