Haiti’s creative abundance that flowered between the 1950s and the 2000s is now on display at the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Art Museum in downtown Fort Lauderdale through the fall.
More than 160 works of art that the museum has collected come together in the show – named “Cosmic Mirrors” – aimed at showing how colonial Catholic beliefs and Haitian Vodou came together to shape the island nation’s modernist aesthetic.
The materials range from beading to bosmétal sculptures to mermaid paintings. Viewers will also learn about Spiralism, a movement that regards a spiral as symbolizing the endless evolution of life and creativity.
