Haiti artists forge int’l reputation with art made of junk

In this April 4, 2016 photo a carved wooden sculpture is displayed inside an open-air museum and art workshop off a trash-strewn street cutting through some of the poorest neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The site was created in the yard of a founding member of a loose collective of Haitian artists called Atis Rezistans who have become celebrated in the international art world by creating sculptures out of scrapped car parts, old wood, discarded toys and even human skulls found scattered outside crumbling mausoleums.
