Vizyon Atistik | Collage workshop with Mel Isidor
In this participatory workshop, join exhibiting artist Mel Isidor to discover the art of collage in this engaging, beginner-friendly workshop designed to spark imagination and experimentation. Using a mix of found materials, papers, images, and textures, you’ll learn how to layer and compose elements into a visually compelling piece that reflects your personal memory.
Participants will be guided through a short introduction to the history of collaging and an overview of key techniques and approaches. With guided support throughout, you’ll explore composition, color, and storytelling as you cut, arrange, and assemble your own original collage. Emphasizing creativity, play, and self-expression, this session invites you to loosen up, try new ideas, and enjoy the process of making something uniquely yours.

Vizyon Atistik | What Paper Remembers: Marks, Memory and Labor
On view now through June 7, 2026
This exhibition draws on traditions of storytelling and record-keeping shaped through movement and change, where each work reflects acts of preservation. Paper bears the imprint of the hand that shaped it while holding memory with remarkable precision. The artists position paper as a deliberate and enduring space in which lived experience is carried forward, and where marks serve as witnesses to time. Across varied practices, the works reveal how meaning emerges through layering, removal, and touch, shifting paper from a neutral ground into an active agent in the inscription and formation of memory.
Curated by HCX fellow Yvena Despagne and Executive Director Régine M. Roumain.
🗓Thursday – Sunday, Wednesday by appointment.
🕔1-6pm
📍Haiti Cultural Exchange, 35 Lafayette Ave. Brooklyn, NY
