        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Le photographe Montréalais Darren Ell présente sa nouvelle exposition intitulée Haïti: Rembobiner.  M. Ell a créé l&#039;expo en réponse à la politique canadienne, française et américaine en Haïti.  L&#039;expo comporte des photos, des extraits de vidéo et des textes ramassés lors de ses voyages en Haïti entre 2006 et 2008.  Elle expose le rôle des puissances étrangères dans la déstabilisation et le renversement du gouvernement populaire de Jean-Bertrand Aristide en février 2004.  Elle examine aussi les séquelles du renversement du gouvernement élu, un événement avec lequel les Haïtiens vivent encore aujourd&#039;hui.  M. Ell remet en question la supposée bienveillance de la présence militaire et policière des Nations-unies qui est la puissance prédominante en Haïti depuis 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Les photographies et les projections de l&#039;expo situent l&#039;intervention étrangère dans l&#039;histoire coloniale d&#039;Haïti.  Des photos ont été prises lors des opérations onusiennes et des manifestations contre la vie chère.  Elles évoquent les tableaux des peintres français œuvrant au plus fort de la puissance impériale française, et elles rappellent le travail du peintre activiste américain Léon Golub.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La première projection combine un paysage tranquille et abandonné de Cité Soleil avec la voix du Canado-Haïtien Jean St-Vil, qui récite le témoignage de Frantz Gabriel, seul témoin de l&#039;enlèvement de Jean-Bertrand Aristide le 29 février 2004.  Gabriel fut responsable de la sécurité d&#039;Aristide et a été lui-même enlevé.  La deuxième projection montre des douzaines de noms, accompagnés de données légales, de prisonniers politiques emprisonnés pendant le coup d&#039;état.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Haiti: Photo Exhibition about  the Consequences of the 2004 coup d&#039;état</title>
 <link>http://www.dominionpaper.ca/weblogs/darren_ell/2071</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-entry-image&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;
                    &lt;div class=&quot;filefield-file&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;filefield-icon field-icon-image-pjpeg&quot;  alt=&quot;image/pjpeg icon&quot; src=&quot;http://www.dominionpaper.ca/sites/all/modules/filefield/icons/image-x-generic.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dominionpaper.ca/files/weblogs-img/Rewind_Email_invitation_CHAN.jpg&quot; type=&quot;image/pjpeg; length=205431&quot;&gt;Rewind_Email_invitation_CHAN.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new exhibition by Montreal photographer Darren Ell is set to open on September 18th.  Ell&#039;s exhibition, Haiti: Rewind, was created as a response to Canadian, French and U.S. policy in Haiti and comprises material drawn from Ell&#039;s visits to Haiti between 2006 and 2008.  The photo exhibition exposes the role of these three powers in the destabilization and subsequent overthrow of the popular government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in February 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photo exhibition looks at the consequences of the overthrow of the elected government, an event with which the Haitian people are living to this day. It questions the purported benevolence of the United Nations force that has been the predominant power in Haiti since 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographs and video installations of the exhibition place current foreign meddling in Haiti squarely within colonial history. Photographs taken in Port-au-Prince during UN police raids and popular demonstrations against rising prices harken back to French painters working at the height of French imperial power in Haiti in the late 1700&#039;s and to activist American painter Leon Golub.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first video installation features a serene but abandoned landscape from Cité Soleil with a voice-over by Haitian-Canadian Jean St-Vil reading Frantz Gabriel&#039;s eye-witness account of the abduction of Jean-Bertrand Aristide on February 29th, 2004. Gabriel was responsible for Aristide&#039;s security and was abducted himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second video installation is a looping projection of legal data concerning the hundreds of political prisoners still detained in Haiti. The information for this piece was obtained from Haiti&#039;s Bureau des avocats internationaux (Office of International Lawyers).&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Advice for Haiti Activists in Canada and US</title>
 <link>http://www.dominionpaper.ca/weblogs/darren_ell/1050</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Mario Joseph, the leading human rights lawyer in Haiti, granted me a long interview yesterday in Port-au-Prince.  We discussed many things (published soon), but when I asked him about what activists should be doing in Canada and the US, he said:  &quot;Keep your eyes wide open, watch your governments closely, be sophisticated in your research.&quot;  He expressed deep gratitude as well to all those who have been working for democracy in Haiti.&lt;/p&gt;
