Rituales en Haití is a series of works by famed Spanish photographer Cristina García Rodero, which debuted at the 2001 Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy. García Rodero’s ground-breaking work and expansive career has documented the celebrated and mystified worlds within ritualistic ceremonies of Haiti, as well as festivals – religious or pagan – throughout Spain, India, Mediterranean Europe and the United States. For Rituales en Haití, García Rodero traveled to Haiti over a period of four years, where she documented voodoo rituals, producing a series of expressive portraits and moving scenes flanked by engaging documentary observations.
