Anne Lescot's path has taken many directions. Academic, from Outsider art to voodoo, geographic from Paris to PortauPrince via London and the Middle East, and professional, navigating between travelling, writing, directing and creating cultural projects. No doubt her FrancoItaloHaitian origins have been instrumental in this roaming. After living essentially in France, she moved to Haiti from 1997 to 2002 and collaborated on the UNESCO Slave Route project. She worked for the Ministry of Culture Heritage Service, was involved in local art galleries, and set up an audiovisual production company, Digitallm. With Laurence Magloire, Anne Lescot directed Des hommes et des dieux, which brought to light the question of homosexuality in Haiti. On return to France, she cofounded the association Collectif 2004 Images, aimed at promoting contemporary Haitian culture. She coordinated A quoi rêve Haïti? for Africultures in 2004. Then, with the photographer Céline Anaya Gautier, organized the Sang, sucre et sueur seminar on the situation of Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic and codirected a radio documentary of the same title for France Culture in 2007. Later, she directed Horizons Lointains Haïti for ARTE, a documentary on Haitian literature, in the company of the Poivre d'Arvor brothers, and in 2010 published Le Guide de la Caraïbe Culturelle with Karole Gizolme (Editions Vents d'Ailleurs). In 2013, she and the Fondation Culture Création organized the Les Rencontres du mécénat culturel in PortauPrince and published the work Repères pour le développement du mécénat et de la philanthropie en Haïti.
