COMING TO THE FESTIVAL

Yves Lors Courtois, Carrefour
After a tap-tap is constructed, the owner and design team develop a name and theme for each tap-tap which turns it into a mobile work of art. Courtois is a master tap-tap artist.

Jean Eliser Sever, Carrefour
Tap-taps, the main source of transportation in Haiti, are brightly painted pickup trucks and buses with specially constructed iron facades and seats. Sever constructs these iron exteriors.
