Art has long been a force of resilience, a way to preserve history, and a means to envision the future. This exhibition highlights the work of Charles Art Jerry, an artist whose paintings are deeply rooted in Haiti's Vodou traditions. His art is a vivid exploration of spirituality, mythology, and the everyday realities of life in Haiti, rendered in bold colors and striking compositions.
