A new exhibition is casting the spotlight on Quebec's long overlooked Haitian artists. • Despite being in the province for decades and constantly showing their work, Haitian artists have only recently begun to make a splash on Montreal's mainstream scene, according to the curator. • "People are doing their mea culpas, they're opening doors to artists who were underrepresented, overlooked," Dominique Fontaine said. • "We're here, we're present and we can't be ignored anymore." • Esther Calixte-Bea, a recent university graduate, is one of the artists participating in the exhibition. • "Being part of this exhibition is an amazing feeling," she said. "To be surrounded by other Haitian artists, to see colourful work and interesting work... it's so empowering to me." • Tap the link in bio to read more. • • • (Photos: Louis-Marie Philidor/CBC; Reporting: Mélissa François/CBC) #CBCMTL #haitianmontreal #haitianart #blackartists
