The exhibit will feature work shaped by generations of traditional Haitian artisans, using natural elements such as stone, wood, paper, metal, tobacco and horn. The “Haiti Artisan Project” working in collaboration with Donna Karan, aims to create a sustainable model of small industrial production and commercial expertise to support the art community of Haiti and to preserve the rich culture of the island.

The HCAA and the Zen Foundation aim to help Haiti help itself by utilizing and organizing its artisans, natural resources and production potential to create business models that can be properly marketed and distributed throughout the US and Europe.
