Fils Lafleur

I will be away from the gallery from December 23rd to January 3rd, and so will not be shipping orders or open for visitors at the gallery. The Indigo Arts website will be active as always. I will respond to emails as soon as possible. I will be able to ship orders after January 3rd, 2025.
Wishing you Happy Holidays and a Peaceful New Year!

Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Text with Fils Lafleur flags at Port-au-Prince airport in 2014

Born in 1965 in Port Salut, on the southern coast of Haiti, Fils Lafleur began making flags in 1987. He has exhibited in New Orleans and Santa Fe. A mural consisting of 32 of his flags depicting the different vévé symbols of Vodou was on display on the wall of the International Airport in Port-au-Prince when I visited in 2014. I understand that Fils Lafleur passed away soon after that.
