THE TRUTH, a group art exhibit and auction curated by renowned fashion photographer Marc Baptiste for Hope Help and Relief Haiti, strives to capture the whole story of Haiti and was born of Marc’s vision to share the message of his country’s rich culture. Marc, born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, now lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and children. Marc’s work appears in major national and international magazines; he has also had several solo exhibitions and published three books.
The Haitian community is strong and its artistic roots run deep. The exhibition is a diverse collection of works by Haitian, Haitian American and Haitian inspired artists. A total of 22+ contributing artists are presenting works to be auctioned to support Hope Help and Relief Haiti’s mission. The art includes photographic images from before and after the earthquake, fine art photography, paintings, masks and a slideshow presentation, short films, interviews and footage of Haiti. This is a celebration of people helping people, hope, courage, commitment, dignity and the truth of survival.
The Truth will travel to iconic cultural events and communities of influence in order to galvanize the artist community and mobilize them in support of their counterparts in Haiti. Art recognizes art. The Truth captures the heart of every true artist, those who find beauty in any situation and have an unending tenacity in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The Truth is one of Hope Help and Relief Haiti’s ongoing campaign to support Haitian artisans, culture and businesses. To date, we have purchased tents, water purification tablets, propane stoves, and other critical supplies for approximately 7,160 displaced Haitians. We also provided Habitat for Humanity with $300,000 to build homes.

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION: HEALTH, EDUCATION, CULTURE
Hope, Help & Relief Haiti’s mission is to create a conscious community of leaders in music, fashion, film, finance and art to become agents of change for the renewal of Haiti.
The most immediate relief that the Haitian community needs is shelter, medicine, food and water. That’s today! Tomorrow, the most crucial needs will be a place to call home. This approach reflects Urban Zen’s philosophy of embracing past, present and future. By preserving a historical vital culture, we embrace the past. In the present, we’ll respond to the sorrow of the Haitian people, and provide support for their immediate needs. But our collective commitment extends into the future as well. Over time, once this crisis has been addressed, Haitians will be faced with the task of rebuilding Haiti. We’ll be there for them.
The Urban Zen Foundation creates, connects and collaborates to raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well being, preserving cultures and empowering children. We design forums, partner with existing organizations and bring together experts to define solutions and implement action.
Dedicated in 1956, the founders have been at the forefront of promoting Haitian art and aesthetic around the world. A family-run gallery, with the second generation of Monnin’s now in charge, has been showcasing contemporary Haitian art for over 50 years.
Gallery Monnin strives to be the avant garde of the artistic and cultural development of Haiti; and this despite all the socio-political turmoil, the misadventures and the ups and downs of this singular little country of fiercely individual creators.
