Haitian Cuban Dwapo, 2021
Mixed media, fabric & acrylic on canvas, hand sewn tapestry, 3’ x 8′
This project was interested in imagining new modes of proprioception based on the Haitian and Cuban rituals observed at home. The drawings show different daily rituals of black domesticity, including hair braiding, shrines of religious syncretism, the prayer closet and sneaker throwing as a spiritual mourning, using a dwapo as a floor plan. It was installed in Yale’s School of Architecture for a year in Tatiana Bilbao’s studio. This work was exhibited at Cornell College of Architecture Hartell Gallery, and was funded by Cornell Council of the Arts.
