We are at the number 34 of the street of the escouvrier in 95 this August 27th, 2022. The 1st edition of the vodou show opens in great pomp in France.
It is noon without a second dust and the main door opens to welcome the public.
Inside this place where the first edition of the Vodou exhibition takes place, nothing is exposed at random. No object is insignificant, even the clothing of these practitioners of the ancestral spirituality that is Vodou.
It is under the sign of the meeting and the conviviality dear to the vodou spirituality that opens the first edition of this event carried by the association Un Geste Pour Haiti.
An event aimed at celebrating, honoring and promoting the Haitian tradition, through music, dance, local gastronomy.
Smile to the lips << For this first edition of the vodou show, there is something to boast about estimates Stephanie Clermezine Larrieux member of the organizing committee of this event >>.
On this poster that is shared in loop on the networks, it is about 12:00, and already as not to be late the general public comes in small groups and on each face is drawn this desire to know the menu of this first edition, to meet and acquire some rare objects here.
From Papa Ogou’s handkerchief to the machete, from Baron Samedi’s cross to Cousin Zaka’s pipe, stylists, craftsmen, painters expose themselves in their respective places, inside this beautiful building worthy of a festive space.
Without forgetting the clairvoyance on the spot, the traditional ceremony of tea with Haitian herbs, the tchaka, the chocolate and other products to which the general public was entitled without any expenses.
