Photographers Georges Rouzier and Reginald Louissaint Jr. are part of the project KAZAL, Memories of a massacre under Duvalier: A photographic approach, part of which is featured in the exhibition KAZAL – Narrating Haitian Memories (2022) at Framer Framed. The exhibition opens on the 25th of May (Register here) and can be visited between the 27th of May and the 1st of July.
Their project traces the memories of the dictatorship of François Duvalier in Haiti through the history of Kazal, a village north of Port-au-Prince in Haiti, where a major massacre was perpetrated in 1969. Within the workshop, the artists will discuss the role of photography in the transmission of memories and how their methods or ideas can be adapted for the context of the participants.
Participants must bring a photograph they have a strong connection to – your own or another artist’s – in any form possible. Bringing a camera is also encouraged but not necessary.
