JEROME SOIMAUD: Kanzo

Kanzo is a photographic exploration of Miami’s Haitian Vodou culture. Alongside the musicians of Vaudou Lakay, artist Jerome Soimaud immerses us in the aestheticism and energy of this misunderstood religion. The Kanzo is the holiest sacrament of Vodou and the most intimate event within a Vodouisant’s life.
The slave ships not only transported human cargo, but a culture rich in spirituality and mysticism. Although, deeply rooted in Africa, Vodou is a living religion, which responds to the trials and tribulations of its followers. Vodou is a reflection of society, its people, and its survival via adaptation.
