Everyone has a story. There are over 7 billion people alive today, and each person has a singular, exceptional narrative.

 

Most of these stories – especially from the developing world – remain unknown to a wider audience. By listening with a radical empathy, the participants in Global Arts learn to make transformative art that illuminates the stories of forgotten people one at a time.

Every spring a group of high school art students travels to Haiti, a country profound in both its devastation and vibrancy. We live in the Zanmi Beni home for disabled children, and document the unique stories we discover. Through art and play, we’ll learn the stories of children like Patrick who, born deaf and disabled, was abandoned at birth, grew up in an orphans’ ward in the General Hospital of Port-au-Prince, and never stepped outside until he was eighteen and the earthquake struck.

 

Home from Haiti, our student-artists collaborate to shape these verdant stories into luminous art that will radiate out from Haiti, across the globe.
