HAITIAN STEEL DRUM NATIVITY

Comite Artisanal Haitien
Croix-de-Bouquets, Haiti
Painted recycled oil drum
2016

This colorful Nativity is crafted from a recycled oil drum. Haitian artists begin by cutting the tops and bottoms off the drums, which they then slice open, flatten, and clean before decorating the surfaces.
