Fabiola Jean-Louis transforms paper into profoundly spiritual sculptures that connect ancestral and living realms and reclaim African spirituality as the root of Black freedom. Join Fabiola Jean-Louis and Gardner Museum Luminary Arielle Gray as they discuss art that bridges past and present, Jean-Louis’s creative journeys and processes, and how her artwork engages with colonial histories and African diasporas in the Caribbean and beyond.


Jean-Louis will share how she uses imagination to create remarkable works of art that draw on a wide range of folkloric, literary, mythical, and historic references from Vodou traditions and spirituality to the powerful history of the Haitian Revolution that continues to resonate in legacies of Black liberation.
