HAITIAN DIASPORA
Haitian Diaspora
The Haitian Diaspora is not a footnote to history, it is a force shaping the present and the future.
Across cities, generations, and borders, Haitian voices continue to create, build, resist, and re-imagine belonging. Yet many of these stories remain fragmented, misunderstood, or unheard beyond the communities that carry them.
DiasporaMart is developing a documentary project dedicated to the Haitian Diaspora, not as a nostalgic look backward, but as a living, evolving narrative of identity, resilience, and contribution.
Perspective
Project Perspective & Approach
This documentary is conceived as a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of diaspora life in the U.S., grounded in authenticity and ethical storytelling.
Rather than offering a single storyline or prescriptive message, the project focuses on shared themes relevant to American society today:
-
belonging and identity across generations,
-
the transmission of memory within immigrant families,
-
and the role of diaspora communities in shaping local and national spaces.
The approach prioritizes listening, trust-building, and collaboration, allowing participants to engage on their own terms while preserving narrative integrity and creative discretion.
The following publications contribute to the intellectual, cultural, and educational foundations of Diasporamart Foundation’s programs and initiatives.
