[foundry haiti fund]
Tracey as part of a group of 35 artists has just returned from taking part in the Ghetto Biennale - Port-Au-Prince. As you know the people of Haiti are in a terrible situation in the aftermath of the earthquake.
The Ghetto Biennale has supported the setting up of the foundry/haiti fund with the Foundry in London for the artists community www.atis-rezistans.com in Grand Rue, Port-au Prince.
The Foundry and Ghetto Biennale have forged links with this community over the last several years. The Grand Rue ghetto district is home to artists who make sculpture from refuse as well as running many community workshops. They are incredible for what they have done to make their community full of good, creative energy.
Please give generously to the Foundry/Haiti fund which will be allocated directly to our friends in Port-au-Prince.
We have already distrubuted £6,500 directly to the ghetto which has enabled them to buy food and water and shelter
