✨Art is Spirit. Spirit is Art. (12–2:30 PM)
Led by Her Royal Majesty Queen Mother Dr. Dòwòti Désir (Social Curator, Flip It & Reverse It; Manbo Asogwe), “The Govi Project: Waging Peace” invites participants to create and decorate govi—traditional Haitian vessels that hold memory, prayer, and offering—as part of a collective artwork honoring loved ones, ancestors, displaced communities, and visions for peace.
The afternoon continues with “Yanvalou Speaks: Voice of the Ancestors,” a participatory dance class led by Dr. Weislande “Yanui” César—educator, Haitian folkloric dancer, instructor, and cultural leader—offering an experience of a foundational Haitian movement tradition rooted in resilience, community, and collective expression.
