In my opinion, the artistic sector enjoyed the greatest rate of success since the earthquake: both financially and administratively.<br /><br />It is, as you pointed out, a coping mechanism for a population without healthcare that is forced to live with PTSD, following what some experts called a psychological shock. Beyond the therapy function however, the industry as a whole receive a lot of attention and grew considerably. I cannot say the same for many other sector of the national life. Most notably, Haiti's cultural productions found an international stage and brought the Haitian experience to the world's living rooms, stages and galleries, rather than the unforgiving news media's tales. A story is better told through the eyes of protagonists who experience and understand the reality and bear the scars of history.<br /><br />Administratively, there were attempts at structuring the arts and crafts industry. Securing contracts with macys and other organizations not only ensured constant demands, keeping people employed, but also made the local companies marketable and encouraged Haitian creativity. In addition, providing loans to artisans with low interest rates was a major boots to the industry. Interests paid on those loans are used to provide more loans for other small businesses will ensure sustainability. They also organized the industry that was informal and underrepresented. The steel artisanal industry experienced similar progress.<br /><br />Visual art found made its way to various places around the globe, namely Miami, NY, California and France:<br /><br /> <br />Miami: More Mia coverage<br /><br />Miami: MIA in the 305<br /><br />DC: Washington DC<br /><br />France: Le Louvre<br /><br /> <br />I would add Kreyol la, Belo and Mikaben to your list of musicians or groups. The last two embraked on several international tours after the earthquake. I found that really great.<br /><br /> You're right the body of literature speaks for itself. It is rich in substance and qualitatively speaking.<br /><br />No to forget these Haitian filmmakers that focused on various aspects of the post-quake era: Haitian filmmakers<br /><br />Side note: I understand how your mom feels. Many people find it too painful to revisit and try to park it somewhere. However, your title says it all. This must be a teachable moment.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time. You ladies don't disappoint. Until next post?<br /><br /> <br />ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710790789183922782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536157195893661148.post-79098523624590293202012-01-20T15:38:23.731-05:002012-01-20T15:38:23.731-05:00A few of our members have mentioned having problem...A few of our members have mentioned having problems leaving comments, so this is just a test!Tandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567933123749950247noreply@blogger.com
