About the Memwa/Evolisyon series
Haiti Cultural Exchange is celebrating our milestone 15th year throughout the month of June with a special anniversary series. Memwa/Evolisyon (Remembrance/Evolution) represents the alive nature of culture––weaving and building forward with the same roots that seeded all we have and everything we will be tomorrow.
The Memwa/Evolisyon series pays homage to our powerful community and the longtime artists who have helped ground HCX, while uplifting new and exciting artists around New York City. We welcome you to join us in remembering the past and look forward to the evolution of our community rooted in the arts & culture of Haiti and its Diaspora.
