Interview with Edouard Duval-Carrié, a Haitian-born painter and sculptor based in Miami. After leaving Port-au-Price due to political instability under the Duvalier regime, Duval-Carrié's family settled in Puerto Rico. He then studied urban planning in Canada before focusing on art. A world-renowned artist, Duval Carrié uses his position in the global art world to reframe Haitian art that has been misrepresented by stereotypes based on limited interactions between artists and art buyers. Through various cultural organizations and personal initiatives, Duval-Carrié uses his painting and sculpture to show a Haiti that is modern and cosmopolitan. In this interview, Duval-Carrié discusses his career and the path that took him from Haiti to Miami. He also talks about the influence of Vodou in his work, his efforts to reframe perceptions of Haitian art, and projects to support the art community and museums in Haiti.
