Death of Patrick Vilaire, a major figure in Haitian art

I loved his President's chair, which shows the chair eating its sitter and constraining him. I went to many of his expositions in France, he was a great guy with a transcending vision!

Diasporas, how much do you send to your family back home?

I don't mind the process and life is costly in Haiti, but I'm wondering how much other people are sending?

You die and are reborn instantly in Haiti. Do you respawn in a countryside peasant family, a favela family, or an oligarch family?

Honest answers please.

Why was the US occupation of Haiti unsuccessful but that of the DR successful?

The US occupied Haiti in 1915 and the Dominican Republic in 1916. Following both occupations, each country adopted a dictator.

But why was this process (or sequence of events) unsuccessful in Haiti but not in the DR?

We have multiple diasporas, mostly in the US, Dominican Republic, Canada, France, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil.

Which one do you think has the best life? If you had to start from 0 tomorrow, in which country (those mentioned or any other) would you go?

The Oath of the Ancestors / Le Serment des Ancêtres, 1823

The painting depicts the summit meeting between the leader of Saint-Domingue, Alexandre Pétion, and General Jean-Jacques Dessalines (the future Emperor Jacques I of Haiti), a lieutenant of Toussaint Louverture. It was there that the two revolutionary leaders forged a decisive pact to defeat the French colonial forces and secure independence. The painting depicts two historic moments: the alliance between Pétion and Dessalines in October 1802 and the proclamation of Haiti’s imperial constitution on May 20, 1805 (Articles 1 and 28 are inscribed on the stele).
