Madjeen Isaac

Madjeen Isaac is a first generation Haitian-American artist whose practice is rooted in home, communality and belonging. Isaac reimagines and hybridizes landscapes that center boundless Caribbean existences, taking up space forging new realities, and experiencing the buoyancy of daily life post-migration. Pulling from elements of her hometown Brooklyn and ancestral homeland Haiti, Isaac re-envisions the “lakou” – a communal yard or third space born out of the Haitian Revolution. Isaac is interested in how the concept of the lakou has changed overtime, shaped by liminality and the emotional experience of existing in one place while yearning for another.

She questions, how does the diaspora continue to place their trust in reimagining new realities of being? How does one reinvent home away from home? Isaac aims to create dream-like, nostalgic portals and blueprints of sovereign futures, suggesting ideal worlds where access and autonomy are reclaimed, rooted in resistance and revolution.
