The nine artists included in the show were part of the Urban Zen Haiti Artisan Project that spurs economic development in Haiti by increasing the availability of the country's artwork in the global market. The exhibition, on display through December at South Terminal Gallery of MIA, is collaboration between the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, MDAD's Fine Arts & Cultural Affairs Division, and American fashion designer Donna Karan.
