It’s been over 200 years since Great Britain abolished the TransAtlantic Slave Trade - yet human trafficking continues today. Haiku Middle Passage is an artistic collaboration between poetry, visual art, and music with the purpose of reflection and action that result in discontinuing Modern Day Slavery. The exhibit shows a collective historical experience that mirrors an unacceptable present but predicts a more humane future. The exhibit goal is 200 exhibitions (and is always looking for sites).

Greetings:
Our collaborative project is off to an exciting beginning. Several artists have selected their Haiku for interpretation. One has already completed his Water Color interpretation of Haiku poem #2! I'm looking way past forward to see it.
I remember how long I labored over creating the 15 Haiku (about 2 years) and I'm glad I'm done! It was a challenging event; however, now it's beautiful to see the next phase of this collection. Hopefully, you'll soon see postings from the other artists involved detailing their experiences working on this collaborative project.
Better yet... maybe there will be a showing near you!
