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

In this April 6, 2016 photo, a sculpture made out of industrial junk and topped with a human skull with Christmas lights sticking out of its eye sockets stands at 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 is 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.
