I'm raising £5,500 to support Atis Rezistans as their art works (previously shown at Pioneer Works, documenta fifteen and RISING Melbourne) are in Salt Lake City and need to be shipped to another venue in New Orleans.

Due to the security situation we have not been able to ship the works back to Haiti as we didn't want the art works to get stuck or destroyed at the docks in Port-au-Prince. We were happy to get the art works to LA and onward to the wonderful UMOCA in Salt Lake City as we had the promise of storage after the UMOCA exhibition in LA.

Unfortunately, in part due to the failing art economy in LA we have found out that the offer of storage in an art depot in LA no longer exists.

Our (seemingly eternally) peripatetic exhibition would have to be on the move again. We were put in touch with some really helpful people in New Orleans. The works will be shown at the BK House who will exhibit and host the works supported by and in collaboration with the Nous Foundation. These are fantastic partners for the show and it will open to coincide with New Orleans National Vodou Day April 5th and 6th and a related conference.

There is a promise of storage after this show - so hopefully we can draw breath and relax for a while and hope for either a new venue or a more secure Haiti.

The reason that we are raising money is because the best quote we can get for shipping the works to NOLA is £5500. We hope that you can help us to get out of this tricky situation and see the positive in the visibility of majority class Haitian artists we are trying to achieve by financially supporting us to pay for the shipping.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
