Reshaping the Black Experience - Exploring Climate Gentrification through Art Morel Doucet, born in 1990 in Pilate, Haiti, is a Miami-based multidisciplinary artist and arts educator. Drawing from his Haitian roots, Doucet explores climate gentrification, migration, and displacement within Black diaspora communities using ceramics, illustrations, and prints. His artwork presents narratives that delve into the contemporary reshaping of the Black experience, capturing the degradation of the environment where economic inequality, the commodification of industry, personal labor, and race intersect. Doucet earned his BFA in Ceramics from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2013. His work gained recognition in the 59th Venice Biennale exhibition titled “The Afro-Futurist Manifesto: Blackness Reimagined,” curated by Myrtis Bedolla, Director of Galerie Myrtis.
