This proposal is for an exhibit of drapo lwa (spirit flags) created by Haitian artist Mireille Delice. These intricately embroidered banners are created with tens of thousands of glass seeds and depict the spirits and symbols of Haiti's often understood spiritual tradition, Vodou. Having conducted fieldwork in Haiti since the late 1990s, I became interested in Mireille Delice's work as she maintains relationships with family members, employees and clients in Haiti and abroad. This exhibit would highlight Mireille Delice's work working within the conference theme of "Confluences" and present the parameters of an artist-anthropologist collaboration. Mireille Delice would be on-site to present her work and demonstrate her technique (with possibilities of collaborations with First Nations artists who also work with glass seed beads). As an anthropologist, I would be available to translate and facilitate interactions between the artist and CASCA members, and if appropriate, provide ethnographic context for her work.

We will provide updates on ongoing work to establish a professional body, challenge structural and ideological barriers within and beyond anthropology, and brainstorm the kinds of change we want to see for our practice and for our ongoing relationships with communities, policy makers, and colleagues.
