Resumo: This article, based on an ethnography with historical documents, seeks to reflect on the construction practices of the so-called “popular art” in Haiti in the mid20th century. To this end, it follows the creation and the first years of operation of the Center d’Art, a center for the production and dissemination of Haitian plastic arts created in 1944, and the circulation of its first exhibitions abroad. Particular emphasis is given to the narrative articulated by the institution around the celebrated painter and voodoo priest Hector Hyppolite (1894-1948), who, i argue, is himself regarded as a kind of circulating artifact. The work and the very figure of Hyppolite function as well as the condensed image of a “popular Haiti” that was wanted to be projected at that moment, marked by its African roots expressed both in the religious and artistic fields.

Para ello, sigue la creación y los primeros años de funcionamiento del Center d’Art, un centro de producción y difusión de las artes plásticas haitianas creado en 1944, y la circulación de sus primeras exposiciones en el extranjero. Se hace especial hincapié en la narrativa articulada por la institución en torno al célebre pintor y sacerdote vudú Héctor Hyppolite (1894-1948), quien, según él, es considerado como una especie de artefacto circulante. La obra y la figura misma de Hyppolite funcionan así como la imagen condensada de un “Haití popular” que se quería proyectar en ese momento, marcado por sus raíces africanas expresadas tanto en el ámbito religioso como artístico.Este artigo, baseado em uma etnografia com documentos históricos, procura refletir sobre as práticas de construção da chamada “arte popular” no Haiti da metade do século XX. Para tal, acompanha a criação e os primeiros anos de funcionamento do Centre d’Art, centro de produção e divulgação das artes plásticas haitianas criado em 1944, e a circulação de suas primeiras exposições para o exterior. Dá-se ênfase especialmente à narrativa articulada pela instituição em torno do célebre pintor e sacerdote vodu Hector Hyppolite (1894- 1948) que, argumento, é tido ele mesmo como uma espécie de artefato em circulação. O trabalho e a própria figura de Hyppolite funcionam, assim, como a imagem condensada de um “Haiti popular” que se queria projetar naquele momento, marcado por suas raízes africanas expressas tanto no campo religioso quanto artístico.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2020-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDocumentary research; EthnographyInvestigación documental; EtnografíaPesquisa Documental; Etnografiaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/4119910.5433/2176-6665.2020v25n3p602Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v.25, n.3 (2020) - set./dez.; 602-619Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v.25, n.3 (2020) - set./dez.; 602-619Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v.25, n.3 (2020) - set./dez.; 602-6192176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/41199/32414Copyright (c) 2020 Júlia Vilaça Goyatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGoyatá, Júlia Vilaça2022-07-01T19:28:00Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/41199Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:38:17.851171Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
