| Résumé: | Through experiences of two different museum spaces the nature of material objects of Vodou are considered. How can the complexities of ritual deposits, assemblage, and continued interaction that are present within a religious space, such as the Vodou altar, be demonstrated to outsiders via a curated space? The materiality of these objects and accumulations is considered and the question is posed as to their importance in the understanding of the nature of Vodou worship. Can a traditional museum setting that favours manufactured objects over the spontaneous ritual deposit and repurposed object convey the intricacy of the material culture of Vodou if it negates the inclusion of these artefacts? |
