In beautiful, inspirational portraits of dignity and determination, Wyatt Gallery’s photography book, Tent Life: Haiti (April 2011) shows us the reality of Haitian living almost a year after the “worst natural calamity to befall any one country in modern times.” The 1.5 million Haitians who lost their homes in January 2010 still overwhelmingly live in tent cities, and the promised billions in foreign aid have yet to materialize.

While peacekeepers and aid donors have budgets that overshadow the government’s, a lack of coordination in their efforts has hampered recovery. Much remains to be done, and Tent Life: Haiti places a spotlight on the needs greater than money: housing, education, and good government.

In conjunction with the book release, an exhibition of Wyatt Gallery’s photography from Haiti will display at the Umbrage Gallery from January 6 – March 31 2011 at 111 Front St. Suite 208 in DUMBO, Brooklyn. 100% of royalties from the book will go to Haitian charities J/P Haitian Relief Organization, Healing Haiti, and the Global Syndicate.
