In-Depth with a filmmaker: Lunise Cerin
MIWA, a musical and visual experience from Haitian-American sisters Talie Cerin and Lunise Cerin debuts this November 6, 7, and 8, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a mini world-in-a-warehouse that mirrors and reimagines the experiences of Haitian women. Interweaving curated works of art by Haitian artists, live musical performance, and segments of a sprawling documentary film in five parts— MIWA connects threads of Haitian cultural practices across geography and time.
