Rituals and Ceremonies Opening Reception

The body of work presented in Rituals and Ceremonies by Shneider Léon Hilaire was produced between 2021 and 2023 at a time of a collective existential crisis in Haiti and more precisely, in Port-au-Prince, where Shneider lives. The inspiration for this work reflects the need of people living in Haiti today, while faced with threatening situations daily, to find meaning in healing and traditional rituals and beliefs even while they do not practice vodou. his exhibition is Shneider’s first show outside of Haiti and also features a collection of artifacts from Vodou temples. The show is curated by Axelle Liautaud.
