Here are three videos shot in March by young artists from the Ti Moun Resistans group. Tele Geto is their project to document day to day life in the ghettoes of Port au Prince and share their experiences through the internet with the rest of the world.
The group initially formed during the December 2009 Ghetto Bienalle held in the thriving artistic community of Grand Rue which was organised by UK photographer and HKKP friend Leah Gordon. The equipment used by the group was sourced by another UK friend of HKKP – John Cussans… he tells the fascinating story behind the project in a podcast on London Fields Radio here.
The films have been shown in London in July as part of an artistic collaboration with young people from Morpeth school in London’s East End
There’s a long article with lots of great pictures on the Haiti Kid’s Kino project in the July/August issue of The Big Picture Magazine . Big Picture is a free magazine you can find at independent cinemas, or you can download the article in the online issue here. .
Many thanks to editor Gabriel Solomons
Many thanks to Sally Daniels and Marcus Toop of sustainable architecture group Tangentfield who hosted us at last weekend’s Womad festival. Tangentfield were running a workshop where four teams built four stages – one from bamboo, one from wood managed from the estate where the festival was taking place, and two from recycled materials.
This week it’s six months since the earthquake of 12th January 2010, when 300,000 people died and one and a half million people were made homeless.
Here’s one radio and one video piece recommended by readers of this blog, Ali and Aaron, that ask relevant questions like…
– Why with thousands of foreign NGOs in the country was Haiti a continuously failing state even before the earthquake?
– Six months after the earthquake, why has only 10% of the money promised by international donor governments reached Haiti?
