ARTYBONITO

Description

In 2015, in the midst of a binational migration crisis concerning the Haitian presence in the Dominican Republic, a group of Dominican and Haitian artists and activists met on the shores of Lake Azuei, on the border between Jimani and Malpasse. These individuals decided to join forces and create together. Thus, the Azuei Movement was born. Our mission is simple: to deconstruct the narrative of conflict and hatred in the political relations between the two countries, through art and the value of example. We offer other voices, another path to the new generation of Haitians and Dominicans. Music, graffiti, sculpture, literature, animation, and a good dose of activism are the weapons we have chosen to follow in the footsteps of our common ancestors, by learning more about our history. This is how the ARTYBONITO album was born.
