The Indigo Room / La Habitacion Indigo

Sponsored by



The Indigo Room by Edouard Duval-Carrie is currently on view at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art. This installation from the heart and hands of Duval-CarriĆ©, with the assistance of students from the Dillard Center for the Arts, bespeaks the artist's ineradicable connection to the island of his birth. Knowledgeable about Vodou since childhood, Duval-CarriĆ© incorporates the religion's theatrical sacred personages as players in his visual dramas of upheaval and transcendence. Migration out of Haiti, with consequences for the country left behind, is a persistent theme.
