Militza Jean-Felix is a Haitian American artist from Boston, Massachusetts. She has a Bachelor in Fine Art from the Massachusetts College of Art and is a current Masters in Fine Art candidate at the California College of the Arts. Her work at the Massachusetts College of Art revolved around painting, ceramics and photography. She has done extensive travel and research in the Caribbean and in Europe. In 2001 while studying at the Ludwig Foundation in Havana she met the Afro Cuban artists of Callejon Hamel and absorbed the richness and density of their Santeria ritual spaces. She then combined this with Haitian Voudou and created large scale paintings that focused on group scenes of ritual and Guede ceremonial dances. The dancers wore menacing yet engaging masks and interacted with each other through twisted frenetic movements. At play within these works is a discourse between the perceived ominous nature of the subjects against the back drop of vividly colorful surroundings and heart felt spirituality. In 2008 she moved to France to attend the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art and stepped into a more experimental realm incorporating the repetition of patterns, disintegrating architecture and the human figure as an afterthought into her work. She has shown her work twice at the Centre International d'Art Contemporain in France and has also shown her work in Korea and the United states. She is currently studying creative writing at the California College of the Arts, her thesis centers around her family’s real life experiences during the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010.

At PUMA, we believe that our position as the creative leader in Sportlifestyle gives us the opportunity and the responsibility to contribute to a better world for the generations to come. A better world in our vision—PUMAVision—would be safer, more peaceful, and more creative than the world we know today. The 4Keys is the tool we have developed to help us stay true to PUMAVision, and we use it by constantly asking ourselves if we are being Fair, Honest, Positive, and Creative in everything we do. We believe that by staying true to our values, inspiring the passion and talent of our people, working in sustainable, innovative ways, and doing our best to be Fair, Honest, Positive, and Creative, we will keep on making the products our customers love, and at the same time bring that vision of a better world a little closer every day.

PUMAVision PROGRAMS The PUMAVision looks ahead to a world that is safer, more peaceful and more creative for the generations to come. Through the programs of puma.safe, puma.peace and puma.creative, we are providing real and practical expressions of this vision. <a href="http://www.creativecaribbeannetwork.com/page/430/en"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/ztvc/image/628/430-400-162.jpg" height="162" width="400" alt="" title="puma.safe logo" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Click to get a larger image - puma.safe logo - Creative Caribbean Network" href="/page/430/en">puma.safe logo</a> Under this banner, we are bringing together all of our longstanding work on environmental issues and decent work in decent workplaces, and combining it with new initiatives that will drive us to cleaner, greener, safer and more sustainable systems and practices. Imaginative solutions are found in every aspect of production for our Sportlifestyle products, from the sourcing of raw materials through the Cotton Made in Africa campaign, which has seen excellent results for subsistence farmers in Africa, to the development of fully biodegradable packaging and carry bags that replace existing plastics. In addition, transparent and constructive dialogues with stakeholders, supplier partners, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Fair Labor Association have ensured that our PUMA Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct are observed and audited in workplaces worldwide. puma.safe will continue to work toward reducing our carbon footprint, developing new sustainable products, and raising work and production standards worldwide. <a href="http://www.creativecaribbeannetwork.com/page/431/en"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/ztvc/image/100/431-400-141.jpg" height="141" width="400" alt="" title="PUMA.Peace logo" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Click to get a larger image - PUMA.Peace logo - Creative Caribbean Network" href="/page/431/en">PUMA.Peace logo</a> Through the puma.peace program, PUMA continues its support of the United Nations Global Cease-Fire Day and the non-profit organization that inspired it, Peace One Day. PUMA supported the Peace One Day documentary, which was filmed partly in Afghanistan with peace activist Jude Law and screened in major cities around the world including Cannes, London and New York. In 2008, we launched One Day One Goal, a global football movement that celebrated Peace Day with goodwill football matches played around the world, in many cases between communities previously in conflict. In its first year, the One Day One Goal campaign held over 180 peace games. puma.peace will continue to develop initiatives that promote and support peace across the globe. <a href="http://www.creativecaribbeannetwork.com/page/432/en"> <img src="http://fast.mediamatic.nl/f/ztvc/image/548/432-400-123.jpg" height="123" width="400" alt="" title="PUMA.Creative logo" playable="1"/> </a><a title="Click to get a larger image - PUMA.Creative logo - Creative Caribbean Network" href="/page/432/en">PUMA.Creative logo</a> Our puma.creative initiatives aim to bring together individual artists and organizations, and provide them with a platform for creative exchange and international exposure. The first puma.creative project was the support of the exhibition “30 Americans” at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, Florida, during Art Basel Miami Beach 2008. Both Art Basel Miami Beach and the important “30 Americans” exhibition challenged our understanding of the synergy between art and design, music, style, and fashion, and was a perfect fit for the expression of PUMAVision’s creative initiative. The sponsorship of Hussein Chalayan’s retrospective at the Design Museum in London further grounded puma.creative’s serious commitment to supporting art and culture. In London we also sponsored the Central Saint Martins graduate fashion show and subsequent auction benefiting the PUMA Central Saint Martins Bursary Award. We established and continue to develop the Creative Africa Network (CAN), an online social networking website and cultural directory that enhances, celebrates and honors existing African and Africa-related cultural networks within and beyond the continent. CAN also includes the CAN Ambassador awards, awarded to 17 individuals in 2009 for dedicated service to the arts. As part of our commitment to a more creative world, PUMA will continue to support artists, art projects, and exhibitions globally through puma.creative. - 36.8131 -1.27436 PUMAVision PUMAVision PUMAVision d d http://vision.puma.com/ PERSON 1 http://www.creativeafricanetwork.com/id/28853 2011-11-18T02:16:33+01:00 Mansour Wael I am a dancer in the CMDC Company, I do break dance, contemporary and classic dance, as well as compose music

The intercations with and the cultural expressions emerging from the Caribbean are of global importance. It would seem to be a complex layering process that at all times retains its essence. Elements such as light, forms, nature, landscape are recurring while being manifest in multiple culturally-inflected expressions.

I see my work as a long and epic novel, with characters and places, chapters and pages. It continues to evolve and has become a world of its own. The work is a reconciliation of opposites between the private and the public, documentation and fiction, fantasy and reality. Painting is a philosophical approach to making work as much as it is a method for spreading pigments onto surface. My flat work and installations are an extension of thinking, a way of seeing out loud, of tying the present to history, and of creating worlds parallel or perpendicular to our own.
