On the hottest day of the year on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, everyone’s hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes into violence.
Under the threat of persecution, Haitian-born Carl Juste and his politically active family were forced to flee their homeland in 1965, eventually settling in Miami’s Haitian community.
Throughout his career, he has won countless awards as a photojournalist. Juste has covered national and international stories for the Herald, including Haiti, Cuba, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq assignments.
As part of his ongoing independent work, in 1998, Juste co-founded Iris PhotoCollective. In 2016, Juste won a prestigious Knight Arts Challenge grant to complete Havana, Haiti: two cultures, one community, a book, and exhibit, or photographs and essays about Cubans and Haitians’ lives and shared humanity. The book is forthcoming from Akashi Press in 2025.
Carl opened IPC ArtSpace in 2019 to further engage the public with the arts. In 2019 and 2021, he won the “The Ellies,” an award from Oolite Arts.
