Showcasing a selection of works collected by the Fowler Museum over the past five decades, Fowler in Focus: Aand the Unbreakable Spirit of Haiti juxtaposes pieces produced for the international art market with those used in Port-au-Prince Vodou temples and nationwide seasonal festivities. They illustrate crucial aspects of the Haitian experience.
