The exhibit, “All That Gleams and Glistens: Sequin and Metal Art from Haiti," reflects a complex history of the island nation including African, French, Catholic and tribal traditions. The exhibit features works by 20 to 25 Haitian artists and includes metal-cut pieces and ceremonial flags and fabrics adorned with sequins and eye-catching colors and designs. [link]
