This year’s exhibition seminar, led by Professor Fredo Rivera ’06, explores the work of Haitian American artist Edouard Duval-Carrié and builds an exhibition around four of his paintings. The nine student curators will draw from the Grinnell College Art Collection and the Waterloo Center for the Arts – the largest public collection of Haitian art in the world – to develop an exhibition and catalogue that places Duval-Carrié’s work in dialogue with a diversity of objects. The curators focus on themes of hybridity and displacement, and how Haitian art and vodou encapsulate African, European, and indigenous traditions.
