Join Haitian American artist and photographer Vanessa Charlot for a conversation with Grace Aneiza Ali, curator of the Engine for Art, Democracy & Justice and Katie Delmez, Frist Art Museum Senior Curator. 

Through her lens, Charlot explores the intersections of Black identity, migration, and spirituality, moving between the waters of the Mississippi Delta, Haiti’s shores, and Florida’s coastlines. 

This conversation has been planned in conjunction with the Frist’s current exhibition What the Body Carries, featuring Haitian American artists M. Florine Démosthène and Didier William, whose work explores how they navigate spaces beyond Haiti while remaining deeply informed by the country’s cultural and spiritual traditions.
