Scope and content
This collection documents the works of noted Haitian Vodou priest, healer, educator, and performance artist of “electro-Vodou music,” Erol Josué. He has spent much of his career passionately practicing the Vodou religion and advocating to keep it alive through his performance art and by lobbying against government restrictions on religious practice. Items in the collection specifically focus on Josué's work as a healer and performance artist. It includes newsclippings and ephemera related to his performances, which feature Vodou and his Haitian cultural heritage as prevailing themes.
His full oral history, as part of the Haitian diaspora oral history collection, can be accessed from this page (see: Related archival materials note).
