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).

Haiku Middle Passage opens February 21, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan at Marygrove college...
I'm looking forward to the opening of the Haiku Project at Marygrove. Being one of the artist who worked in collaboration with Ibn Pori Pitts, it will be good to see our work. The Haiku's are very powerful. It was very difficult to choose one for our project. As an artist I have often thought about how it would feel to be shackled in the hold of a slaver for 30 days or more and if my creativity would have survived the brutality of that journey.
