Description
On 14 August 1791, slaves of Saint-Domingue gathered for a vodou ceremony at Bois Caiman. The leader Boukman stands larger than life on the far right and presides over the sacrifice of a black Creole pig to Erzulie Dantor, the mother spirit of Haiti, uniting the slaves in revolution. Here, the artist depicts the revolutionaries using present-day white mugs.
