On Friday, June 13, 2025 BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! officially opened their 47th season with performances by three Haitian singer-songwriters: Mélissa Laveaux, Nathalie ‘TALIE’ Cerin, and Riva Nyri Précil. I documented all three acts as a house photographer for the series and some of the images I created for BRIC can be found in the above gallery.
