The Beauty of Haiti

Discover the vibrant culture and artistry of Haiti at the Haitian Heritage Museum’s The Beauty of Haiti, a solo exhibition by self-taught artist Belina Wright, on view from December 5 to 8 during Art Basel 2024. This captivating showcase celebrates Haiti’s rich history and cultural identity through Wright’s dynamic and colorful paintings, which capture the essence of the nation’s day-to-day life and community spirit.

Wright’s work reflects her connection to her Haitian heritage, incorporating influences from the country's art traditions. Her paintings often feature faceless, stylized women in vibrant settings, conveying energy, movement, and resilience. Through bold strokes and layered details, she brings to life scenes inspired by her personal experiences, including her visits to Haiti as both a child and an adult, which shaped her perspective on the country’s enduring spirit and beauty.

Hosted by the Haitian Heritage Museum, this exhibition is an integral part of the museum’s mission to preserve and promote Haiti’s cultural legacy. Founded in 2004, the museum serves as a cultural hub in Little Haiti, offering visitors the opportunity to explore Haitian art, music, literature, and history. The Beauty of Haiti provides a unique lens into the creativity and resilience of the Haitian people, inviting visitors to celebrate the richness of this extraordinary nation.
