SUMMARY:Vizyon Atistik | Papier-mâché Workshop with David Sainté
DESCRIPTION:In this participatory workshop\, join artist David Sainté to learn methods of mask making and why Jacmel’s Carnival is not only a cornerstone of Haitian cultural identity\, but an essential history for the Haitian diaspora to learn\, preserve\, and pass on.\nEach participant will receive a pre-made mask to decorate with demonstrated techniques \, a complementary beverage\, & light refreshments. \nThis event is part of the Vizyon Atistik public programming for JAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval on view until March 29\, 2026. \n  \nSaturday\, February 28\n3–5pm\nHaiti Cultural Exchange\n35 Lafayette Ave. Brooklyn\, NY \n  \nRSVP required. Limited Capacity.\nGet your tickets here » \n  \n—\nAbout The Exhibition \nJAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval is more than a celebration\, it is a living archive of survival stories\, memory\, and self-expression. \nLearn more about the exhibition and artists here »\nJoin the artists & curators for other activations taking place as part of this exhibition »   \n  \n—\nAbout the Instructor \nDavid Sainté is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker and interdisciplinary visual artist of Haitian descent whose work bridges experimental documentary\, installation\, and new media. His practice merges archival footage\, video\, and sculptural environments with emerging technologies to create immersive\, narrative-driven experiences that explore memory\, grief\, and cultural identity.  \nHis recent work includes Bedsheet Bunker\, presented in Oslo as part of Nou La: Apertures into Haiti at Kunstnernes Hus\, alongside Jelsen Lee Innocent’s exhibition Truth Has No Friends in The West. The generative film explores Haiti’s artistic legacy and diaspora through themes of spirituality\, resilience\, and resistance\, situating Haitian voices within global contemporary discourse.  \nAnother cornerstone of his practice is Nou Mache lè Solèy Kouche\, a part-sculptural\, part-generative documentary installation supported by the En Foco Media Arts Fund and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Originally intended for the Ghetto Biennale in Jacmel\, the project was left without a home after the event was cancelled due to the crisis in Haiti. The installation has continued to evolve in Sainté’s studio\, weaving light\, film\, and memory with car parts\, sequin fabrics\, found objects\, and glowing masks that evoke Jacmel’s Kanaval traditions and ancestral memory. \nSainté’s broader projects have been supported by institutions such as The Shed\, MIT\, the MUD Foundation in Miami’s Little Haiti\, the Museum of the Moving Image\, where he has developed XR environments\, sound\, and experimental moving image installations.

SUMMARY:Vizyon Atistik: OPENING NIGHT | JAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval
DESCRIPTION:“I think we all wear some kind of mask. There are masks that shield us from others\, but there are masks that embolden us\, and you see that in carnival. The shiest child puts on a mask and can do anything and be anybody.” \n— Edwidge Danticat\, quoted from the book “After the Dance: A Walk Through Jacmel Carnival” \n  \nJoin us for the opening reception of JAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval on February 12\, 2026\, presented by Haiti Cultural Exchange\, Vizyon Atistik. \nCurated by HCX fellow Yvena Despagne and Executive Director Régine M. Roumain\, this exhibition examines Carnival as a vital form of cultural expression and underscores the importance of its history for members of the Haitian diaspora and broader global audiences. Through visual art\, mixed media\, and cultural storytelling\, the exhibition highlights why Jacmel’s Carnival is not only a cornerstone of Haitian cultural identity\, but an essential history for the Haitian diaspora to learn\, preserve\, and pass on. \nRenowned worldwide for its elaborate papier-mâché masks\, political satire\, and community driven artistry\, JAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval is more than a celebration\, it is a living archive of survival stories\, memory\, and self-expression. Born from Haiti’s revolutionary past and shaped by generations of local artisans\, the carnival has long served as a platform for social commentary\, collective healing\, and cultural pride. \n  \nOpening Night\, February 12\n6–9pm\nHaiti Cultural Exchange\n35 Lafayette Ave. Brooklyn\, NY \nOn view from February 12 through March 29 \n  \n—\nAbout The Exhibition \nJAKMÈL | The Unveiling of Kanaval tells the story of a people who have always used art as a language of survival and freedom. Migration\, displacement\, and generational distance have often disrupted the transmission of traditions like Carnival. This exhibition is about honoring that legacy and ensuring it remains visible\, especially for those in the diaspora who may feel disconnected from Haiti’s cultural history. \nThrough paintings\, sculptural works\, archival materials\, and contemporary interpretations\, this exhibition bridges past and present\, showing how Jacmel’s Carnival continues to influence global art\, and political expression while remaining deeply grounded in local community traditions. For the Haitian diaspora\, the exhibition emphasizes the urgency of cultural preservation and reclamation. By engaging with Jacmel’s artistic practices and historical narratives\, the exhibition encourages diasporic audiences to reconnect with their roots and recognize Carnival as a powerful symbol of identity\, and continuity of Haitian culture. \n  \n—\nFeatured Artists \nSteven Baboun | Tania L. Balan-Gaubert | Bacheler Jean-Pierre | Charles Jean-Pierre | Lori Martineau | Christina Rateau | Kedler St. Hilaire  \nWith sculpture works provided by the Tequila Minsky Private Collection

By engaging with Jacmel’s artistic practices and historical narratives\, the exhibition encourages diasporic audiences to reconnect with their roots and recognize Carnival as a powerful symbol of identity\, and continuity of Haitian culture. \n  \n—\nFeatured Artists \nSteven Baboun | Website \nSteven Baboun is an artist\, photographer\, and creative director from Port-au-Prince\, Haiti\, based in New York City. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Media Arts and a minor in Education Studies from American University\, as well as a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Parsons School of Design. Baboun works in photography\, video\, performance\, textile + multimedia installation\, and design. Currently\, Baboun is the founder and creative director of Studio Baboun\, a creative house based in Brooklyn\, New York. He is the co-founder and CEO of NativRoots Collective\, a creative agency specializing in visual production and solutions across entertainment\, nonprofits\, live experiences\, and businesses. \nTania L. Balan-Gaubert | Website \nTania L. Balan-Gaubert is a conceptual artist\, cultural producer\, and writer based between  Lenapehoking (Brooklyn\, NY) and Shikaawa (Chicago\, Illinois). Her practice weaves together personal narrative\, diasporic memory\, and speculative world-building\, moving through histories of displacement and survival while honoring practices of belonging.  \nBorn to Haitian parents on the Council of the Three Fires and Miami lands of present-day Illinois\, she was raised between Chicago’s South Side and Brooklyn’s Flatlands neighborhood. These geographies continue to shape her artistic practice\, which is guided by Haitian\, African\, and Indigenous traditions. Working across mixed media\, installation\, photography\, painting\, and social practice\, she assembles found objects\, folklore\, craft\, and spirituality into hybrid forms that move between the material and immaterial. Her work creates spaces where ancestral memory intersects with contemporary experience and where imagination becomes a tool for reclamation and transformation.  \nBacheler Jean-Pierre | Website \nMiami-based artist Bacheler Jean-Pierre\, known for his love of the statement “NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED”\, diversifies self-expression through mediums of music\, art\, architecture\, and fashion. His Caribbean Afro-beat vibe invites you in for a closer look at the personal journey navigating and embracing the essence of an ambitious creative. His creations reveal an intimate rendition of one’s highest self\, initiated through strife and strength.  \nAs a survivor of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake\, Bacheler’s will to live cultivates a continuing freedom to establish uniqueness conveyed in his visionary works. Bacheler’s belief in the power of words speaks to vibrations of expansion and growth. His loyalty to being a student of creation demonstrates the voyages in humility of the shadow self thus validating art as “a reason to triumph” where consciousness evolves. \nCharles Jean-Pierre | Website \nCharles Philippe Jean-Pierre is a Haitian-American artist groomed on Chicago’s south side. Charles Philippe Jean-Pierre’s most tangible connections to his Haitian roots were the paintings and sculptures in his family’s home. He often overheard passionate debates on abuses of power and continual regression in Haiti\, but the art that hung on their walls were beautiful contradictions to his homeland’s hopeless narrative. The stark contradictions of beauty and power\, as a theme\, are ever-present as a theoretical and methodological struggle within Jean-Pierre’s overall body of work.  \nHis art and work has been featured at many institutions\, including the U.S. State Department; the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou\, Benin; the Obama White House; The Smithsonian; the Mamelodi Project; and International Monetary Fund. His work has been highlighted by numerous media outlets including: The Washington Post\, Ebony Magazine\, Black Enterprise\, NHK Japan\, The Village Voice\, BET\, NBC\, Netflix and FOX. Jean Pierre holds a Masters of Arts from Howard University and has created public art murals in South Africa\, Panama\, New York\, Chicago\, Washington\, Istanbul\, Montreal\, Port-au-Prince\, London\, and Paris. He is currently a professor at Howard University in Fine Arts. \nLori Martineau  \nLori Martineau is a writer\, aspiring mermaid and creativity junkie. Her professional background is in Education and Expressive Arts Therapy. Born and raised in the Pearl of the Caribbean\, her work revolves around a ceaseless curiosity in Haiti’s oral history and cultural traditions. Martieau’s fixation on capturing the tiny pieces of larger stories began with her first camera in her youth documenting the bustling activity of Mache Petyonvil. Martineau was exhilarated by the small moments within the mache’s buzzing activity – piles and piles of merchandise and food\, every color\, smell\, and noise imaginable\, and humans moving like foumi fou. She remains fascinated by Haitian culture bearers and her images are a collection of bearing witness to little moments within expansive Kanaval traditions. Lori can be found hopping a flight to soak in water\, managing a Haitian restaurant in New Orleans or spending quality time with her home in Haiti. \nChristina Rateau | Website \nChristina Rateau\, born in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti\, is a visual artist and photographer based in Amsterdam. With a background in Economics from Donghua University (Shanghai\, China)\, her journey spans modeling\, creative direction\, and analogue photography\, reflecting her passion for storytelling and self-expression. Her practice\, Occhio del Ciclone (“The Eye of the Storm”)\, explores identity\, memory\, and cultural heritage through conceptual\, tactile narratives. Drawing on her Haitian roots and global experiences\, Christina crafts evocative works using analogue photography\, bold colors\, and portraiture\, often featuring self-portraits to explore themes personally. \nChristina’s work has been featured in Photovogue and The New York Times and debuted her first solo exhibition in 2022 at Studio Baboun. She has also participated in group shows like Our Collective Future at Kunstlinie (Almere\, Netherlands) and many other shows in Indianapolis. Committed to preserving Haiti’s cultural heritage\, Christina aims to inspire strength and belonging in her audience while empowering the Haitian community and the Black diaspora. Her goal is to serve as a cultural archivist\, amplifying Haiti’s stories and traditions for future generations. \nKedler St-Hilaire | Website \nKedler St-Hilaire is a Haitian visual artist and graphic designer whose artistic approach lies at the crossroads of formal rigor and chromatic emotion. A graduate of the École Nationale des Arts (ENARTS)\, he has developed a singular visual language where line\, structure\, and color interact. Art is neither decorative nor passive: it is a vital necessity\, an act of affirmation and resistance against a world often marked by social and moral bleakness. He is driven by a clear mission: to bring originality\, dignity\, and meaning to places where degradation prevails. \nSt-Hilaire trained at the Centre d’Art and continues his artistic research by studying tattoo\, enriching his visual and textural vocabulary. St-Hilaire is also an accomplished graphic designer\, having collaborated with several leading institutions including CARE Haiti\, LEGS ÉDITIONS\, FOKAL\, the Pyepoudre Cultural Center\, the Festival 4 Chemins\, La Famille Joseph\, and Pascale Théard Créations. Based in Carrefour\, St-Hilaire\, stands out as a unique voice in the contemporary Haitian art scene\, building worlds that are colorful\, structured\, and profoundly human.  \n—\nWith sculpture works provided by the Tequila Minsky Private Collection

SUMMARY:On View: Lakou NOU Culminating Expo
DESCRIPTION:A week-long exhibition featuring the culmination of work from the LakouNOU 2024 Artists-In-Residence over the past year.\nOn View\nSunday\, April 27 – Sunday\, May 4\, 2025 EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND TO MAY 10TH\, 2025 \nGallery Hours\nThursday – Sunday\, 1-6pm;Wednesday by appointment. \n  \nThe 2024 Lakou NOU Culminating Expo highlights four expressive and collaborative projects that seek to empower\, understand\, and archive the Haitian experience. This cohort of artists explore core themes of personal and collective history\, identity\, and creative empowerment in Brooklyn’s Haitian community. Through oral history\, creative cultural mapping\, multimedia and visual art installations\, Lakou NOU artists-in-residence Tania Balan-Gaubert\, Zamí Germain\, Watson Mere\, and Stephanie Pierre welcome us into a dynamic experience highlighting the power of storytelling\, documentation\, and cultural narrative. \nThis week-long exhibition presents the artists’ work in conversation with each other\, highlighting their distinct approach to unpacking stories and approaches to cultural preservation in Brooklyn. \nUnlike traditional artmaking\, where an artistic creation amplifies a sole perspective\, Lakou NOU residents generated their projects collaboratively with community members\, providing creative outlets to convey inner experiences and share histories that are rarely shared or often under-presented. The Lakou NOU Culminating Expo will include visual art installations\, audio soundscapes\, participatory workshops\, spoken word and musical performances\, and an interactive map. \nEstablished in 2016\, Haiti Cultural Exchange’s Lakou NOU artist residency program provides artists of Haitian descent with the opportunity to create and present new work by connecting their skills and talents to historically underserved Brooklyn neighborhoods\, home to generations of Haitians and Haitian-Americans: Crown Heights\, Canarsie\, East Flatbush\, and Flatbush. Lakou NOU artists develop collaborative community engagement projects that address neighborhood issues and highlight community assets. Artists in residence received individualized mentorship from HCX staff and interacted with each other as a cohort through discussion and support around topics relevant to Lakou NOU projects. HCX-facilitated additional professional development workshops and exchanges with a consortium of community stakeholders and creative placekeeping professionals. \nJoin us for the Expo Showcase on Thursday\, May 1\, 2025 from 6-9pm. Details Here » \n  \n— \nThis program is made possible in part by the Jerome Foundation. \n \n— \nEXHIBITOR DECRIPTIONS \n  \nTania Balan-Gaubert\, Canarsie \nSTR.DST.MRKT. (pronounced Stardust Market) is an innovative mobile creative platform inspired by the vibrancy of the Haitian marketplace and the dynamic spirit of Tap Tap vehicles. Combining elements of a hands-on studio\, gallery\, and concept shop\, this project reimagines public spaces as hubs for creativity\, cultural exchange\, and community engagement. \nThis conceptual art project envisioned a community-based experimental mobile market where art is a shared\, lived experience that strengthens community bonds\, sparks dialogue\, and reflects the transformative power of creativity in Canarsie. As a collaborative\, maker-driven initiative\, STR.DST.MRKT. invited local artists\, artisans\, and community members through an open call to co-create a hybrid space where art\, commerce\, and social dialogue intersect. By transforming a mobile structure—such as a retrofitted dollar van or box truck—into a traveling cultural market\, STR.DST.MRKT. activated the southeastern Brooklyn neighborhood/lakou of Canarsie\, cultivating innovation\, and celebrating the diverse voices of its collaborators and partnerships. \nThis nomadic marketplace showcased artwork and crafts\, an exhibition\, and hosted pop-up workshops that amplified the talents and stories of Rasin Okan\, Natou Ma’at\, Christopher Leveille\, and Tania Balan-Gaubert. Rooted in the principles of accessibility\, equity\, and cultural resilience\, STR.DST.MRKT. aligns with broader movements for social and economic empowerment\, offering a tangible model for creative engagement that transcends traditional gallery walls. \n  \nLaurie Zamí Germain\, Crown Heights \nLAKOU SEKRÈ // SAKRE is an altar to the queer Haitian experience in Crown Heights. The participatory\, oral history installation is inspired by el secreto abierto\, or the open secret ~ a phrase coined by Rosmand King to articulate the ways that queerness is the Caribbean moves as something seen but unsaid\, resulting in a mandate of discretion around what is perceived as culturally transgressive approaches to love and sexuality. \nThe installation’s hollow\, circular shape mimics the experience of the open secret\, while the materials it is made of are informed by oral history interviews had throughout Laurie’s residency project\, exploring themes of visibility/invisibility\, religion/spirituality\, home/belonging. The strung cowrie shells are interpretations of the rosaries Nat invited into the conversation while reflecting the rituals that grounded them in their Haitian church as a child. The religious reference also pays homage to Marla’s background as a former Jehovah’s Witness and evolving spiritual practice. The use of cowrie shells\, an ancient symbol of wealth and contemporary reference to African Traditional Religions\,  such as Haitian Vodou\, evokes the spirit of Ginen that Akesh carries with them. In this way\, the installation is an altar\, not only to the Lakou Nou La narrators\, but to the role of religion and spirituality as a portal for queerness in Haitian cultural fabric\, and a reference to the indigeneity of gender and sexual creativity seen within Haitian traditional religion. The photos strung between the rosaries become material markers of memory\, creating a semi-transparent boundary between the inside and outside of the circle in order to invert the open secrets mandate of discretion by allowing those standing inside it to be seen within a queer experience. The conch shells suspended in the center invite pairs to step in and listen with curiosity to the stories of Nat\, Marla\, and Akesh in reflection of their own experiences as queer Haitians in our Lakou. \nLAKOU SEKRÈ // SAKRE makes undeniable what hides in plain sight in terms of the queer diasporic Haitian experience: the laughter\, the love\, the invisibility\, the tension\, the tenderness\, the care\, the things that our Lakou’s house but often refuse to home. The installation denies that refusal through an embodied encounter with the open secret\, and the  invitation to step into its embrace and listen to the life worlds alive within. \n  \nWatson Mere\, Flatbush \nYon Nouvo Rèv is comprised of three interconnected pieces spanning the mediums of visual arts\, video\, and performance art\, all rooted in his residency’s focal theme: Haitian spirituality and its relationship to the modern-day Haitian\, particularly those living in Flatbush\, Brooklyn. \n“Potomitan” is an 8-foot by 7-foot painting inspired by the central pillar of Haitian Vodou temples that go by the same name\, which serves as a conduit for the Loa to enter the physical world. Throughout his residency\, Watson explored the potomitan’s significance as a spiritual gateway and the painting symbolizes the magnitude and gravity of these portals. \nMere’s video piece features interviews with three Haitian women and three Haitian men from Flatbush and Brooklyn\, offering diverse perspectives on their relationships with Haitian spirituality\, particularly Vodou. These conversations provide an intimate look at how Haitian spirituality permeates identity\, whether openly embraced or quietly embedded in the subconscious. \nLastly\, his performance art piece\, Modern Ancient Entity\, is a four-minute dialogue in which the protagonist grapples with his Christian upbringing and the persistent presence of the Loa\, who reveal themselves in his dreams and daily life. This internal struggle reflects the complex interplay between ancestral spirituality and colonial religious influence\, a duality many Haitians continue to navigate today. \nTogether\, these works of art illuminate the ever-evolving presence of Haitian spirituality in contemporary life and finding creative voice while seeking this connection. \n  \nStephanie Pierre\, East Flatbush \nRoots to Routes is a digital map that follows the story of Haitian social action movements that have taken place in East Flatbush\, identifying the physical locations related to those movements as well as the organizations that were involved with those movements as well. \nTracing key moments in history and subsequent watershed social action movements of the Brooklyn Haitian community\, Roots and Routes creatively highlights cultural context and historical information\, navigating archival materials and accounts from following five moments in Haitian history: The Fall of “Baby Doc” in 1986\, March on Brooklyn Bridge in April 1990\, The Military Coup of Jean Betrand Aristide in 1991\, Police violence against Haitian Immigrants (Abner Louima/Patrick Dorismond)\, and The 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti in January 2010. \nThree of these stories were activated to draw local attention to the publicly accessible digital resource map\, physical photographs\, ephemera\, and microfilm of select moments were placed on the facade and in the windows of places in East Flatbush that serve as sites of information exchange – Bonbonbon and the Brooklyn Public Library – Clarendon Branch. \nElements from those public installation sites highlighting the community story on the assault of Abner Louima in August 1997\, the murder of Patrick Dorismond in March 2000\, and the AIDS policy protest march across the Brooklyn Bridge in April 1990 are exhibited here. \nCollaged microfilm periodicals from well known Haitian publications of the time\, Haiti Progres and Haiti Observateur\, alongside noteworthy New York based publications The New York Times and The New York Daily News will set the foundation of this installation. The layered disorder of these archival materials represents the disorienting journey of collecting this information through the lens of the first generation Haitian American\, seeking and locating a mosaic of information\, connections\, and materials to build a mere snapshot of community history. \nMap illustrations recontextualize the boundaries of the East Flatbush neighborhood by marking locations connected to researched historical moments (identified by conch shells) and local institutions and sites of interest that give East Flatbush its textured character. \nKey snippets from event specific media\, ephemera\, and a very Haitian American playlist embody the blending of Haitian and Brooklyn culture formed during that time offer context before leading to a space of remembrance for the 15th year anniversary of the Earthquake in Haiti\, the 25th anniversary of Patrick Dorismond’s murder and the 25th anniversary of the March on Brooklyn Bridge.

SUMMARY:Traditional Haitian Flag Making Technique Demonstration with featured artist Mireille Delice
DESCRIPTION:Join HCX as we welcome Sacred Banners of Haitian Vodou exhibiting artist Mireille Delice. A renowned Haitian flag maker\, Delice will share about her global career and distinct technique creating new methods in the vivid art of Haitian traditional beadwork. Moderated by exhibition curator Axelle Liautaud.\nSunday\, March 9\, 2025\n3-6pm \n— \nAbout The Exhibition \nSacred Banners of Haitian Vodou\, on view at the HCX Gallery is curated from the personal collection of Axelle Liautaud beginning in the 1980s\, featuring significant flag makers from that era to the present day. \nLearn more about the significance of Vodou flags\, their makers and the vibrant history of these spiritual objects in conversation with Sacred Banners of Haitian Vodou’s curator Axelle Liautaud. \nMore information about the Sacred Banners of Haitian Vodou exhibit here. \n— \nMireille Delice \nMireille Delice (also spelled Delismé) was born in 1965\, in Haiti (Biography below adapted from Wikipedia and other sources). \nDelisme’s career began in 1986\, when taught sewing and beading techniques by her cousin\, Myrlande Constant. Soon after\, she began working alongside her cousin in Port-au-Prince at a factory embellishing wedding dresses for export. Following the closing of the factory in 1990 due to political and economic issues\, Delisme recalls having a dream in which she was visited by the spirits. When relating the dream to her father\, an oungan (vodou priest)\, he interpreted the message to be from the Vodou spirit or lwa Erzulie. Erzulie\, the spirit of love\, is represented in vodou tradition by a heart\, which was the same design symbolized in Delisme’s dream. Using beads left over from her time at the factory\, the heart symbol visualized in her dream became the sequin design for her first drapo (flag). \nDelisme recollects having more than one dream in which spirits visited her. During the third dream\, she was delivered the message that\, “I did not have to work in the factory\, but I could learn to work for myself and earn for my family.” In 1990\, having lost her job at the factory in conjunction with the lwa messages\, Delisme decided to begin her life as an independent artist at age 25. Delisme continued to master her needlework skills by creating more drapo\, finding design inspiration from her dreams and Vodou symbols given to her by her father. Delisme’s beadwork incorporates vévé designs that represent traditional Vodou deities and are used to explain divinity and give clarity to life’s expressions and meanings. Her flags represent her spirituality and are used for guidance\, wisdom\, and healing. Her bright color combinations add to the mood and spirit of each piece.  Since becoming an independent artist\, Delisme has built an atelier in Haiti. The workshop was constructed to more efficiently assemble the bead-work for her drapo designs. Delisme describes the envisioned designs to a paid artist to be drawn or traced for the drapo and once done\, is passed on to be beaded by Delisme herself or one of the seven artists employed at the workshop. \nIn January 2010\, Delisme’s hometown was at the epicenter of a massive earthquake. Delisme and her family were among those affected by the earthquakes destruction. “I felt I had to express the disaster in Haiti in my artwork.”  \nIn 2011\, Delisme’s work Catastrophe du 12 Janvier\, a Vodou flag created to depict the crumpled buildings and the bodies of the dead caused by the earthquake\, was part of an exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art titled “The Arts of Survival: Folk Expression in the Face of Natural Disaster.”  The same work was exhibited in Kathmandu\, Nepal in Spring\, 2022 as part of the  Kathmandu Triennale.  Delisme has displayed and sold her works at the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market for many years (2011\, 2012\, 2013\, 2016 and 2024). \n— \nAxelle Liautaud \nAxelle Liautaud is a Haitian art historian and curator. She is also a designer who works with artists and craftsmen to create unique items. For more than 30 years\, she has worked to promote Haitian art and crafts in Europe and the United States.
