Artist Bio

My name is Gordimy Jean, I am an Haitian Artist, Cultural Manager and Educator established in the Dominican Republic.
I am until now the only Haitian graduate from the National School of Dramatic Art (Escuela Nacional de Arte Dramático) in the Dominican Republic.
In 2017 I founded CADORIGEN ( https://linktr.ee/cadorigen ) a non-profit institution with artistic, educational and cultural character, with the objective of creating bridges between artists and educators from Haiti and the Dominican Republic, among other Spanish, French and Creole speaking countries. We promote values related to human rights, education and multicultural and social integration through art.
Since our founding, we have carried out and co-organized artistic and educational activities with institutions in in both countries.
