Voices of the Ancestors
Durham, North Carolina, 2019
Rhythms of Resistance
Little Haiti, Miami, Florida, 2021
Across sacred sites in North Carolina and Miami, Charlot documents Haitian women at the heart of worship, resistance, and ancestral communion. From whispered prayers to ritual dances, stillness to movement, Charlot reveals how these gatekeepers help Haitians remain connected.
In Voices of the Ancestors, two Vodou priestesses lean into one another, hands cradling an enamel cup. Their quiet exchange embodies reverence, wisdom, and shared understanding. Captured during a Vodou ceremony in North Carolina, this intimate moment shows faith moving through touch, ritual, and presence.
In Rhythms of Resistance, Haitian women move with the heartbeat of Vodou. Captured in Little Haiti, Miami, an enclave where Haitian spiritual traditions are fiercely protected, this image speaks to Vodou as both spiritual practice and embodied resistance. Charlot’ s lens lingers in the blur of motion and stillness, honoring dance as a living archive of liberation.
