#KISANAPFEAKMATISAN

#KISANAPFEAKMATISAN (What Will We Do For Matisan, in Haitian Creole), is a hashtag that emerged on twitter as an outcry from people living in Haiti to the Diaspora, in response to the mass shooting and burning of people in Matisan, a tormented neighborhood in the heart of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The community, in the grip of armed gangs, grapples with neglect from the government and acts perpetrated by the police.

#KISANAPFEAKMATISAN as a photoseries highlights the normalization of death in the lives of its resilient population. The imagery of fruits and bullets reflects its population’s daily intake; one represents scarce sustenance, while the other reflects a violent and unavoidable reality.
