Location: Marvin Bistro & Bar (2007 14th St. NW)
When a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, killing more than 200,000 people, photojournalists from Washington, DC traveled to Port-au-Prince to document the rescue and recovery efforts. Some were on the ground in less than 24 hours, and others have already returned multiple times. What they brought back is horrific, gripping, touching, and most importantly, real.

Their pictures show the shock and horror visited on Haiti, but also the broad international response, the humanity and resilience of the Haitian people, and the deep emotional scars that will long outlast any physical damage. You’re invited to see Haiti through the eyes of some of the country’s top photojournalists, presenting their own personal edit of their work, with donation options available for the UN World Food Program and Project Hope, both doing amazing work to help the earthquake victims in Haiti.
