Imagined landscapes

The exhibition Imagined Landscapes brings together paintings, engravings, installations and large-scale sculptures produced in the last decade by the artist, where he innovatively adapts traditional Haitian iconography. Duval-Carrié's works involve extensive research on the theme of the landscape seen from the periphery, on how the Caribbean continues to sell itself as a tropical paradise, obscuring existing economic and social disparities. Another part of the exhibition refers, from a contemporary vision, to the religious and social syncretism of Haiti.

Mural of Haitian children residing in Chile 

To celebrate the possibility of opening ourselves to other worlds and welcoming Chileans to the Haitian imagination, a mural made by children from Haiti will be linked to the exhibition.

The project - directed by Fundación Mar Adentro, in collaboration with the Alberto Hurtado University - is the result of workshop work carried out by 4 Chilean illustrators with 31 Haitian boys and girls from the Estación Central community during December. Illustrators with outstanding experience in participatory methodologies - Matías Prado, Tomás Olivos, Daniela William and Sebastián Ilabaca - composed the mural with the imagery that the children created in the workshops.

The children who participated are Walden, Yvens, Witchiy, Asline, Patricia, Smercarine, Tania, Judel, Francisco, Jocelyn, Benaide, Wondesca, Bruno, Fedjina, Michel, Dawens, Mikanor, Endy, Udler, Anel, Exequiel, Deslor, Jonhkelly, Minerva, Gladelson, Daniella, Yedi, John, Nahomie, Rose Berline and Mikanor.
