Pòtoprens

Synopsis

Pòtoprens: The Urban Artists of Port-au-Prince (Pioneer Works Press), edited by Leah Gordon, co-founder of the Ghetto Biennale, is a massive survey of the “majority art” of Haiti’s capital, exploring how contemporary urban culture is linked to the country’s revolutionary history. Images, critical essays, and oral histories are organised by specific neighbourhoods, suggesting how geography shapes creative expression.
