Ropeadope

No, not an independent graphic designer, but a nation of people with a rich history of art and music. We think of Haiti as the poorest country in the Americas, but if you dig into the history you will find that we owe a significant debt in art and music to Haiti. Haiti was the cultural gateway from Africa to New Orleans. Haiti was the first black-led republic in the world (we are the most recent). Haiti is in many ways the predecessor to New Orleans culture, with African, Spanish, and Native (Taino) mixtures of music and art. We urge you to dig in, and see Haiti for its beauty and not its misfortune.
