FORT GANSEVOORT
5 Ninth Avenue
New York, NY
From fortgansevoort.com:
Fort Gansevoort presents an exhibition celebrating the evolution of internationally renowned Haitian artist Myrlande Constant’s groundbreaking textile artistry. Since the 1990s, Constant has redefined drapo Vodou—a traditionally male-dominated Haitian art form—through her intricate hand-beaded and sequin-embroidered works. Trained in tambour embroidery while working alongside her mother in a Port-au-Prince wedding dress factory, she has elevated this technique to fine art, breaking gender barriers and honoring the overlooked craftsmanship of Haitian women. Her signature style, marked by rich textures and vibrant colors, transforms fabric into resplendent, painterly compositions of striking optical impact.
