Free event.
Join multidisciplinary artist and poet Nicolas Hyacinthe for an intimate artist talk and community conversation exploring memory, identity, and belonging through visual storytelling. In The Pearl Unseen: Stories from Haiti, Hyacinthe brings to life the richness and complexity of Haitian identity—its rich history, joys, struggles, and the quiet beauty in between—through deeply personal narratives and introspective analysis that transcend borders.
Nicolas Hyacinthe was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and migrated to Massachusetts as a child. Hyacinthe’s multimedia work is shaped by duality, dislocation, and cultural inheritance. His evocative photographs, paintings, video, and poetry—featured in projects like Hard Edges, Soft Embraces—offer tender reflections on place, politics, family, resilience and triumph.
Following the artist talk, participants are invited to participate in a shared storytelling experience: bring a family photograph or memory and join a collective conversation about the power of archives—both personal and public—in shaping who we are. This event honors the threads that tie our stories together across generations and across oceans.
Generously funded by the Framingham Cultural Council.
