black diaspora

For Episode 5 of The Heart Gallery Podcast, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer talks to Morel Doucet. Morel is a Miami-based multidisciplinary artist and arts educator from Haiti. He creates captivating ceramic, illustration, and print works that examine the realities of climate gentrification, migration, and displacement within the Black diaspora communities. Listen and learn from the magical Morel Doucet.

Visit The Heart Gallery's visual accompaniment for this podcast episode here (podcast transcript also available at this link).

HW from Morel: “Being an educator in the museum space I like inquiry. How inquiry works is that you make a visual observation of the work in front of you. Instead of coming to an immediate conclusion, you analyze a work based on its various aspects before you form a conclusion about the work. Another way of phrasing it is, “don’t judge a book by its cover”. Extend this beyond art too: give people grace, give them an opportunity. By being patient, you may uncover something new."

In this episode, deck creator and multi-media artist Courtney Alexander joined us as we discuss the King of Swords, who teaches use how to use our ideas as tools to break through barriers, obliterate the oppressive structures holding us back, and find more joy in our spirituality. We discuss art as a form of resistance and a form of transformation, God as ecosystem, and being able to read the cards just through their energy. Amanda begins the episode with the basics of the card, plus a discussion of an indigenous hero, Kandiaronk, who shows us how language can be a force of liberation. Join us!

This is another fascinating deep dive into the live of someone who has chosen to make Vietnam home for over a decade.

Hayden Lowry runs Caribê Jamaican Patties, is a freelance video post-production specialist, and the admin for the "Black in Saigon" Facebook group.

"I was bequeathed it by a lovely, smart and intelligent lady named Hillary who is a lawyer and she was living out here. We had the the opportunity to meet each other mere months before I moved to Vietnam in 2005, and at that time you literally could count black Westerners then on one hat, there were so few of us."

Among various topics discussed Hayden explains the ‘Black In Saigon’ Facebook group was created to give this community a safe space to ask questions that would often be the subject of disdain or even abuse in Expat groups on Facebook. As anyone who has lived in Saigon and used some of these groups, they are familiar with how toxic they can be. So it is understandable why the Black Community in Saigon would want to create their own group.

Juneteenth is a holiday that celebrates Black freedom including the concept of black people freeing themselves (sorry, not sorry white saviors). In this episode, we draw from the energy of our ancestors to address the following points:

1. In what ways are we freeing ourselves now as it relates our relationships with money and time trauma.
2. We discuss how our economy (i.e. credit) was created and continues to uphold racism
3. We share how we’ve pushed back against the individualistic ways (aka pull yourself from your bootstraps) that dismiss how 400 years of antiblackness has impacted our ability to  secure the bag
4. We share how we’re being afrofuturistic/experimental in our approach to freeing the bag collectively, the ways our ancestors taught us to get free
