Haiti. The name alone conjures heartbreaking images of death and despair, love and loss, struggle and survival. And the response, the outpouring of aid from all corners of the globe, shows humanity at its finest. No matter what your race or religion, beliefs or background, politics or passions, we are all one blood.
For many, the stories are overwhelming, leaving us unable to respond. What is appropriate in the face of such devastation, and how can we-as New Yorkers, as people from all walks of life-unite and give in some meaningful way to those who have lost so much?
Husband and wife team Sacha Jenkins and Raquel Cepeda have organized an exhibition and silent auction to celebrate the art and artistry of the Haiti by giving of world in which we live. On Sunday, March 7, 2010, Anonymous Gallery @ Collective Hardware, SCOPE Art Show, {He}Art For Haiti and Colab Projects join forces to present N’AP BOULE: A BENEFIT FOR THE PEOPLE OF HAITI as part of The Armory Show weekend. All proceeds will go to Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).
