St. Hilaire’s Charlemagne Péralte is painted upon the figure of a diamond, which in Vodun religion represent Ogun, the god of war. In this work Charlemagne Péralte, Haitian leader during the Banana Wars, is seen riding a horse, an animal that figures prominently in St. Hilaire’s tapestries. In Vodun religion spirits enter us through mounting, which is represented through the figure of a horse that is mounted by man. Through depiction of horses in St. Hilaire’s work, the spirit remains alive, still fighting. To this day, Charlemagne Péralte remains synonymous to anti-U.S. imperialism.
