People in Toronto are celebrating culture, work, and working-class culture with the MayWorks festival. In Haiti, the city dubbed our national cultural capital is shaking off the dust, shoving a wide-enough path in the rubble to dance down the street to celebrate its patron saint day - bonne fête Jacmel! It has been a year since I started this - I'll admit, very timid - blog. And Haiti, rarely out of the international spotlight these last 20-odd years, has been thrust forward again in the most painful circumstances in our history.
Nou pran kou tout bon vre. But culture soldiers on!
