‘Not so bad, tomorrow will be better’: Haitian art depicts optimism through struggle

September 30, 2024 / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Written by Patricia Sheridan

From hurricanes and earthquakes to revolution and political turmoil. Haiti is a country constantly being reconfigured by nature and man. Through it all, the people have been buoyed by their culture, their religion and telling their stories through art.

The Latin American Cultural Center in Oakland has collaborated with Pittsburgh-based Haiti Friends to present “Haiti: Culture, Religion and Revolution,” an art exhibit that addresses the cultural and climatic upheavals and the strong roots that hold the people together. It opened in September and runs until June 28, 2025, at the center, 4338 Bigelow Blvd.
