SUMMARY:The Betsy Hotel: Fireside Chat with Edouard Duval-Carrié
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 17th from 6 – 8:30pm The Betsy Hotel presents a Fireside Chat with Edouard Duval-Carrié at The Gallery at The Betsy Hotel. As part of “From Venice with Love\,” The Betsy welcomes master contemporary artist Edouard Duval-Carrié for an intimate fireside conversation exploring the exhibition’s central themes—migration\, memory\, Vodou symbolism\, and the Caribbean narratives his work powerfully reimagines. GET TICKETS HERE. \nCurated by Carl-Philippe Juste\, the retrospective is on view August 1–November 15\, 2026\, with Duval-Carrié’s work filling The Betsy Gallery and extending into public space through nightly video art on The Betsy Orb throughout August. \nBorn and raised in Haiti\, Duval-Carrié left under the Duvalier regime as a teenager and later lived in Puerto Rico\, New York\, Montreal\, Paris\, and Miami. From his Little Haiti studio\, he creates luminous\, politically charged sculptures and mixed-media paintings evoking magical realism—work recently highlighted through his participation in the 61st Venice Biennale. \nHosted by Rosie Gordon-Wallace (founder of Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator)\, the evening also features a dance performance by A’Keitha Carey\, Bahamas-born artist and FIU PhD candidate in Global Dance—bringing movement and embodied storytelling into dialogue with Duval-Carrié’s visual world. \nPresented by The Betsy Writer’s Room\, FIU Public Humanities Lab\, and GMCVB Art of Black\, with support from Jorge Perez Family Foundation CreARTE Grant.
