With Her First Solo Museum Show in the US, Widline Cadet Conjures Scenes She Can’t Quite Remember

Photographer Widline Cadet has opened her first solo museum exhibition in the United States, titled "Currents 40: Widline Cadet," at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The show, on view through August 9, 2026, features 52 photos and videos that explore her family's migration story from Haiti to the United States. Cadet's installation includes a recreated Haitian living room with plastic flowers, ceramic angels, and a wall-size portrait of her father, blending reality and fantasy to evoke fragmented memories of home.

Milwaukee Art Museum to Present Widline Cadet’s First U.S. Museum Solo Exhibition

The Milwaukee Art Museum has announced "Currents 40: Widline Cadet," the first U.S. museum solo exhibition for the Haitian-born artist. Running from May 8 through August 9, 2026, the show features the debut of her decade-long project, "Seremoni Disparisyon (Ritual [Dis]Appearance)." The exhibition utilizes photography, video, and installation to explore themes of Black diasporic life, migration, and the creation of a "living archive" through staged imagery and autobiographical details.
