DESCRIPTION

Mache Tèt Anlè is a research-driven installation project exploring Haitian Vodou as a means of reconnecting with ancestry and affirming queerness through religion. The project includes an integrated editorial system designed across multiple print formats, including a hardcover reference book, an altar catalog, and informational pamphlets.

These materials contextualize the installation and communicate complex cultural narratives. The reference book was displayed on a handcrafted altar beneath a hand-painted portrait, while the altar catalog and pamphlets guided visitors through the concepts and elements of the installation.

The project balances cultural respect with modern design aesthetics, creating a cohesive visual and educational experience.
