Welcome Home: Daughters of Anacoana Artist Talk

Join the Haitian American Museum of Chicago (HAMOC) in welcoming Chantal E.Y. Bethel, Persida Louison and Veronique de Mesmaeker for an Artist Talk on their group exhibition Daugthers of Anacoanoa. The Exhibit is on display at the Alliance Francaise's Eleanor Wood Prince Salon October 9–December 12, 2025.

About the Exhibition

This compelling exhibition invites audiences to reflect on the legacy of Anacaona, the legendary Taíno cacica (chief), poet, and composer whose resistance and sacrifice symbolize the strength and dignity of Caribbean women across history.

Curated by three dynamic exhibiting women artists from the Haitian diaspora—Chantal Bethel, Véronique De Mesmaeker, and Persida Louison—this exhibition is a convergence of ancestral memory, historical truth, and contemporary creative expression. Their work spans mixed media, acrylic, fiber, ceramics, and poetry.
