Kwochè Ayiti

Kwochè Ayiti” draws on the Ghetto Biennale’s explosion of distinctions between high art and popular art forms as well as transformation of spaces and social relationships to weave a tinge of silliness, absurdity, and hilarity into the geopolitics of Haiti. We will use mobile fiber art to “knit the city” of Port‐au‐Prince in an all ages, transnational collaboration with Haitian artists and other participants in the Ghetto Biennale. “Kwochè Ayiti” will play with the appropriative aspects of the yarn bombing movement to transform the Gran Rue, using crochet in conjunction with other art forms (e.g. performance; sculpture) to create alternative worlds using materials on hand in Haiti.
