Over the years Haiti has been a country that the public has not kept close in their minds. I know that in my lifetime, it has had very little attention given to it. Unfortunately, it takes disaster to bring the most attention and promote a greater awareness. This earthquake was not only about a natural disaster, but about a country who's people have seen nothing but mass poverty, violence, and corruption. The collapse of the buildings' infrastructures demonstrates an accumulation of poor past choices of Haiti's government and the lack of help the country has needed before now.
In other words, Haiti's collapse began before the earthquake. The awareness provided by the Arts helps Haitians recover from the past, present, and future.
