About Us
La Dessalinienne is a space of memory, culture, and creation built to reconnect the Haitian diaspora with the depth and dignity of its roots.
At a time when heritage is too often silenced or fragmented, this platform celebrates what makes Haiti unique: its voices, its struggles, its imagination, and its light.
We honor the legacy of the great figures who shaped Haitian history — artists, thinkers, leaders, rebels — while also exploring the living practices of today’s culture: music, cinema, street food, language, resistance, etc.
Through portraits, stories, essays, and reflections, La Dessalinienne invites readers to rediscover Haiti not as a myth or a tragedy, but as a vibrant force ; one that questions, creates, and endures.
This page is for those who seek to understand where we come from, and imagine where we’re going. For those who feel the call of memory. For those who know that culture is power.
Welcome.
