MARABOU

When most people were trapped in their homes because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Afro-Haitian refugees continued to wandering to space.
They were crossing mountains, rivers and seas of Latin America, with the main goal of reaching the Mexican border with the USA, in order to finally cross the “Promised Land”.
Haitian refugees are people chased by poverty and hunger, natural disasters and political instability.
They are the “Marabou”, which like the marabou birds, migrate for a better fortune.
Marabou is a term of Haitian origin denoting multiracial admixture. The term, which comes originally from the African Marabouts, describes the offspring of a Haitian person of mixed race: European, African, Taíno and South Asian.
