I Am Little Haiti: A Global Borderless Caribbean Homecoming

A series of linked community-focused events within Miami, which reminds us of the centrality of place to immigrant communities, even as these communities are being displaced by forces including climate change, deportation, and gentrification. This mini festival comprises many diverse events – including film, performance, literature, visual story(re)telling, and conversations. “I Am Little Haiti” reminds us of the power of humanity to create and re-create a connection to place, to home, and to keep alive the spirit of the ancestors and the creativity of the Global Borderless Caribbean, from shore to shore.

In partnership with the Being Human Festival (US)

In partnership with humanists and humanities organizations across the country, the National Humanities Center is supporting 19 public events across the US.

These events, organized and presented by local artists, scholars, and educators, highlight the incredible breadth of the humanities and demonstrate how they add depth and meaning to our lives, help us understand ourselves and one another, and provide context for the complex world around us.

The American edition of the Being Human Festival, begun in 2024, is the latest international expansion of the Being Human effort, launched in the United Kingdom in 2014. Previous festival events have taken place in France, Italy, Romania, and Singapore. In 2017, a sister festival was established in Melbourne, Australia. Featuring “La Belle Vie” by Rachelle Salnave and a discussion with the filmmaker.

Music with Inez Barlatier & Matthew Sonata.
