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.

Haitian-American artist Patrick Eugène has been selected by Dior to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag for the 10th-anniversary edition of its Dior Lady Art initiative. He is one of ten international participants and one of only two U.S.-based artists in the milestone edition, which will premiere at Art Basel Paris later this month before becoming available at Dior boutiques worldwide. Eugène's design draws on his Haitian roots, incorporating leather and textile patchwork, wooden beads, macramé, raffia embroidery, and straw weaving, with a standout feature of woven leather side panels inlaid with pearls referencing Haiti's historic nickname, the "Pearl of the Antilles." The collaboration will also anchor special activations during Art Basel Miami Beach in December.
