Lise ki konstwi yo vid, pa gen estrikti, tankou yon diskou Joseph Jouthe, Gaëlle lage. Nan #Anriyan sa, timoun kay mè k ap prezante l la ap tire boulèt sou kijan yo te konn fòse l pale fransè tankou Molyè !

One of the central tenets of Rendering Revolution is that we hope our project serves as a corrective to masculinist visual culture of the Haitian Revolution and... Haitian history more broadly that have excluded femme and/or queer actors. An example of male-dominated representations are these 15 portraits of Haitian heads of state. The portraits were painted by Haitian artist Louis Rigaud between 1877 and 1881. The portraits were first acquired by the Smithsonian in 1885 following the World’s Industrial & Cotton Exposition in New Orleans. After determining the portraits were of questionable value, the Smithsonian gave the paintings to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History (@yalepeabodymuseum) in 1963, a transfer brokered in part by the late anthropologist Sidney Mintz. The figures include (left to right, top to bottom) Toussaint L’Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Henry Christophe, Alexandre Pétion, Jean-Pierre Boyer, Charles Rivière-Hérard, Philippe Guerrier, Jean Baptiste Riché, Faustin Soulouque/Faustin I, and Fabre Geffrard, Nissage Saget, Michel Domingue, Pierre Boisrond Canal, Lysius Salomon, and General Lorquet. According to art historian Erica Moiah James (@ericamoiahjames), "[t]he suite represents the most intact group of known works produced in Haiti by a Haitian artist in the nineteenth century." As we move forward with his project, we hope to assemble a feminist pantheon of Haitian revolutionaries that includes figures like Cécile Fatiman, Sanité Bélair, Victoire Jean-Baptiste, Dédée Bazile, Marie-Madeleine "Joute" Lachenais, Romaine-la-Prophétesse, Adbaraya Toya, Catherine Flon, among others.

Here's a excerpt from Edwidge Danticat,Haitian-American author on the subject : https://www.nytimes.com//r/excerpt-create-dangerously.html

Haitian Creole was born on Haiti's sugar cane plantations from contact between French colonists and enslaved African captives. Several French words from the... 17th century are found in Haitian Creole and also many other words that come from Fon, Ewe, Kikongo, Yoruba, Igbo, etc. Although 90% of the vocabulary of Haitian Creole comes from French, we should not forget that the sound, rhythm and structure of Haitian Creole come from African languages. Several English words are also found in Haitian Creole, not only because of globalization, but also because the English have been very present in the history of our country. So, some English words have been in our language for a long time, like: blakawout (ang. black out) or alawonnbadè (ang. all around by there) There are several Spanish words such as sapat (esp. sapato = eng. shoe) or dekabès (esp. dos cabezas = eng. two heads). The Spaniards were the first colonizers of the island. The presence of words of Taino origin should not be neglected, such as ayiti (fr. mountainous land or land of the gods) or boukannen (fr. barbecue). The Taino were one of the many indigenous nations of Ayiti. A rich history. A rich language.
