​Who?

​Flore Costumé (they/li/he) is a black neuroqueering Haitian artist devoted to craft, plants, and ecological care. They create with natural fibers such as organic cotton, linen, and wool along with plant derived/plant based colors. They work with those materials in hand weaving, fabric & yarn dyeing, creating artist materials such as inks. Their work is devotional and centers my hyperlocal ecological context while uplifting the Haitian cultural technology of lakou.
