Sasha Huber and Petri Saarikko have been selected to the 2^nd Ghetto Biennale 2011 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Huber and Saarikko pose intriguing questions about messages: how do we send a message and who is there to receive it?

The Drawings & Messages in a Bottle maps out living and forgotten urban tales using drawings and handwritten messages. The final work will be presented as a large mural at the Biennale. Huber and Saarikko will also organize workshops, where the participants tell stories about their everyday lives by drawing.

The Biennale will run from the end of November to the middle of December. Artists are invited to spend one to three weeks in Haiti before presenting their work in the neighborhood to an audience of local people, Port-au-Prince neighborhood communities, arts collectives and arts organizations. The Biennale will be co-curated by Andre Eugene, Jean Herard and Leah Gordon.

FRAME has supported the participation of the artists in the Biennale.
