RISD Teach-In on Haiti
Saturday, 13 March 2010, beginning at 8:30 AM
Please join the Rhode Island School of Design community on Saturday, March 13, for a teach-in on Haiti.
Anthony Bogues, author of Caliban's Freedom: The Early Political thought of C.L.R. James (Pluto Press 1997), Black Heretics, Black Prophets: Radical Political Intellectuals (Routledge 2003), and Caribbean Reasonings: After Man, Towards the Human: Critical Essays on Sylvia Wynter (Ian Randle 2005) will deliver a keynote address on Haiti, cultural memory and history at 9 AM in the Metcalf Auditorium in the Chace Center at the RISD Museum. Following Professor Bogues' talk, we will be screening Black Dawn (Robin Lloyd and Doreen Kraft, dirs. 1978), an animated film on Haitian history. Afterwards, participants will be invited to join one of three roundtable discussions on the relief, aid, development conundrum; cultural memory and the arts; or Haiti and the US: history and the future.
After lunch, the program continues with talks by Ed Cardoza, former Director of Development, Partners in Health, on the history of the organization, and Cindy Siegel, CNM, Circle of Health International, and Midwives for Haiti on health care in Haiti, before and after the earthquake.
