Michaëlle Sergile. And Then, Perhaps, a Memory
Video interviews
Ongoing
Presented as part of the exhibition And Then, Perhaps, a Memory by Michaëlle Sergile, these video interviews share the stories of three Haitian women–journalist Michèle Montas, writer Marie-Célie Agnant and Marie Wilnie Brézault, the artist’s mother–who immigrated to Québec and New York at different times. Though the reasons for their journeys differed–exile, constraint, the desire to pass on knowledge–these women carry with them the histories of these places.
