VANESSA CHARLOT: BETWEEN RIVERS AND REVOLUTIONS

Begonia Labs (Vanderbilt University) / 2805 West End Ave. March 28 - June 13th

Vanessa Charlot

The Engine for Art, Democracy & Justice (EADJ) at Vanderbilt University is pleased to announce the new exhibition at Begonia Labs– Between Rivers and Revolutions which shares the photography work of artist, filmmaker, and educator, Vanessa Charlot.

The river remembers—carrying the echoes of those who fought for liberation. Vanessa Charlot’s lens moves between the waters of the Mississippi Delta, the tides of Haiti, and the currents off Florida’s coast. She traces the spiritual, cultural, and revolutionary ties that bind these landscapes—a journey shaped by her own lived experience as a Miami-born Haitian American, now rooted in Mississippi.

This exhibition is part of "Somewhere We Are Human", the Spring 2025 Public Programs and Engagement Series of the Engine for Art, Democracy & Justice at Vanderbilt University and is supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
