Gina Athena Ulysse offers a research-informed perspective on the earthquake and community response through the artwork Haiti Madi 12 Janvye 2010. She describes it as a visual requiem that addresses the silence and lack of official mourning following the disaster, capturing the profound impact on Haitian communities both in the country and the diaspora. Ulysse highlights the work’s emotional complexity, where moments of brightness and glitter contrast with themes of loss and devastation, reflecting the resilience and ongoing dialogue within the community’s collective memory and response.
