Closes: 28 December 2017

The Ghetto Biennale is a cross-cultural arts festival held in two adjacent informal neighbourhoods in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, called Lakou Cheri and Ghetto Leanne. It is hosted by the artists’ collective, Atis Rezistans, and has taken place every two years starting in December 2009. The Ghetto Biennale is attempting to momentarily transform spaces, dialogues and relationships considered un-navigable and unworkable into transcultural, creative platforms. The Ghetto Biennale has realised a 'chaotic, amorphous, de-institutionalised space' for artistic production that attempts to offer a vibrant creative platform to artists from wide socioeconomic classes. Program From Mon 11th Dec (workshops, screenings and performances) From Fri 15th Dec ( installations of the visual arts) On Sun 17th Dec: Congress Go to full artist list here. 5th GHETTO BEINNALE 2017 622, Blvd Jean-Jacques Dessalines Port-au-Prince HAITI www.ghettobiennale.orgwww.atis-rezistans.com
