about

yoly belizaire is a haitian-american photo-based artist, ethnographer, cultural organizer, and audio storyteller based in miami, florida. her work acts as a portal for remembering and channeling, drawing from folkloric frameworks of possession as they relate to the ritual of capturing an image. can the camera possess us? through this lens, yoly explores a fusion of documentary photography and ritual portraiture, seeking answers to the questions that reside in her heart, while granting herself and others the permission to be witnessed.

in addition to her visual work, yoly experiments with sound—narration, podcasting, and story collection. as a devoted story keeper and teller, she is committed to honoring and sharing the stories that shape us all

yoly’s work explores grief, cultural memory, heritage, familial love, ceremonies, mothering, and diasporic belonging.
