We are delighted to invite festivalgoers to the CaribArte2026<\/u><\/b> Visual Arts Encounters, dedicated to fashion and the world of the Gede divinities, at the premises of MAI (Montreal Arts Interculturels).\n\nWithin the Ha\u00eftian and Beninese Vodou pantheon, the Gede constitute a formidable family of loas associated with sexuality, humor, and renewal. Numbering 117 in all, they wield absolute authority over the realm of the dead.<\/div>
The exhibition ERITAJ<\/u> situates itself at the threshold of human territories, offering a conceptual journey into the afterlife. Conceived by designer Ma\u00eblle Figaro David, the sumptuous garments and accessories dedicated to the Gede are presented within a museum-caliber, three-dimensional environment punctuated by photographs, sculptures, and tapestries.<\/div>
Drawing upon the poetic potential of fashion design, ERITAJ<\/u> engages Vodou mythology to explore the process of transition from this life to the next through the fertility-mortality paradox embodied by the Gede family. Beneath a veil of apparent sensuality, the principal Gede figures linger within a shadowed corridor, awaiting the opportunity to accompany the living of today toward their final destination.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
