THE KABEL MURALS MAY BE DESTROYED BUT ARE DAMAGED in PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI.

The Kabel murals are the MOST historic murals in all of Port au Prince, Haiti. However, little and no information is known about their history. I discovered them in the summer of 2009 and documented them to the world. The artist / humanitarian known as Kabel is unknown, however his works speak of the beauty and strength of this First Black Republik: Haiti, his country. The Kabel murals capture the history of Haiti and also the Catholic religion which adorns the nation. I believe that the Kabel murals are destroyed because they circumference the Catholic Cathedral: Notre Dame de L’Assomption. The Catholic Cathedral: Notre Dame de L’Assomption was destroyed and killed the archbishop Serge Miot, whose office was in the cathedral.

Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:

Final Day

" I couldn’t sleep last night. I believe it is because I know I am returning back home today. I watched a lot of Haitian television last night, mainly news commentaries and some of a little league soccer game. This is the last entry of my Haiti trip. I am writing this entry while in the The International Aeroport de Toussaint L-Ouverture. I walked more of The Capital neighborhoods this morning. The Capital is bustling with people very early in the morning. As I walked up and down the mountainside roads I am overwhelmed by all the art work on buildings here. Every corner has art. The murals of the Hatian artist Kabel, is the majority of murals I photographed. Kabel’s murals are large, full of fantasy and very colorful. Kabel is a pillar to the Humanities of Haiti. I do not know if he/she is alive or dead. The one most interesting site I photographed today was a sculpture of the famous Haitian freedom fighter: Yaya (a woman) with Kabel mural in the background. Yaya is to Haiti as Harriett Tubman is to the United States of America. Each corner opens up to alley-road neighborhoods. It is 6:00 am in the morning and people are moving as if it is 12:00 noon. Port au Prince is a large city. People are coming out of everywhere. "

I have the only known photo-documentary of these historic murals. Haiti is a beautiful and strong nation whose veins are full of art. The Kabel murals tell a history about this First Black Republik. Now, sadly to say, that these murals now stand as ruins. I attended a mass on my second walk through Port au Prince,Haiti at Notre Dame de L'Assomption, unbenounced to me, that the priest who was delivering the mass was archbishop Serge Miot.
