SUMMARY:Daughters of Anacaona: A Groundbreaking Art Exhibition Celebrating Feminine Strength\, Resilience\, and Integrity
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance Française de Chicago\, in partnership with Partners In Health\, proudly announces the opening of Daughters of Anacaona. This groundbreaking art exhibition in celebration of feminine strength and integrity will be on display in the Alliance’s Eleanor Wood Prince Salon. \nThis compelling exhibition invites audiences to reflect on the legacy of Anacaona\, the legendary Taíno cacica (chief)\, poet\, and composer whose resistance and sacrifice symbolize the strength and dignity of Caribbean women across history. Curated by three dynamic exhibiting women artists from the Haitian diaspora—Chantal Bethel\, Véronique De Mesmaeker\, and Persida Louison—this exhibition is a convergence of ancestral memory\, historical truth\, and contemporary creative expression. Their work spans mixed media\, acrylic\, fiber\, ceramics\, and poetry. A special grand opening will be held at 6:00 p.m. Thursday\, October 9 at AF-Chicago in River North. The program will feature a moderated conversation with the artists led by Chantal Bethel and a presentation by Partners In Health\, as well as light refreshments\, drinks\, and cultural exchange. \n$10 Suggested Donation
