Manifestations: Haitian Life, History, and Religion Rendered in Strikes and Stitches

September 25–Ocotber 13, 2023

The Waterloo Center for the Arts is home to the world's most extensive public collection of Haitian Art. This exhibition draws from the Waterloo Center for the Arts collection while focusing on two uniquely Haitian art forms – hand-cut metal sculptures historically made from discarded oil drums, and beaded and sequined drapo, also known as Vodou banners or flags.
