Notes
	Abstract:	The work of the Atis Rezistans, a Port-au-Prince-based artists collective, is inspired by both their spiritual beliefs—the iconography of Vodou is a prominent but not omnipresent motif in the art—and their urban environment: the immediate setting of Grand Rue, as well as the rest of Haiti’s megalopolis, Port-au-Prince. Led by an established Haitian artist, Andre Eugene, the Atis Rezistans use found materials to create powerful representations of their lived experience: religious faith, natural disaster, sexuality, hope for the future.
	General Note:	A decorated human skull placed on a cloud of metal springs. The skull has a stethoscope that is attached to the penis, which stands erect in the child’s coffin. The coffin was probably never intended for actual burial, but likely comes from a Vodou temple given the Vodou vèvè (cosmogram) designs adorning the sides. There is a link between the Gede, who are Bawon’s assistants, and the phallus; i.e., the Gede play with walking sticks as if they were penises.
