Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art
May 24, 2008 - July 11, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Thursday - Sunday 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: The George and Leah McKenna Museum of African American Art, 2003 Carondelet St.
Phone: (504) 586-7432
Admission: $5.00 Adults; $3.00 Seniors and Students; $2.00 Children ages 6-12
Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art represents a critical point in Haitian Art history during which artists explore realms grounded in Haiti’s rich African influence and deal with contemporary issues and Haiti’s socio-political history as well. In both Haitian Vodou and New Orleans Voodoo, Papa Legba is the deity that presides over the crossroads and intersections of life. It is here at the crossroads that we find contemporary Haitian artists confronted with the past and future of Haitian Art. Centered in four major themes – spirituality, history and politics, contemporary life, and “wonder-realism,” this exhibition is told from a first-person narrative. Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art is a celebration of the visual arts traditions of Haiti and an attempt to de-mystify this culture and situate Haitian art in a contemporary context. Featuring the work of Ulrick Jean-Pierre, Vidho Lorville, Georges Valris, Eric P. Julien and the late Pierro Barra, the exhibition includes installation work, mixed media, paintings, photographs, traditional iron work and ornately decorated sequin Vodu flags.
