Mache Tèt Anlè, meaning “Walk With Your Head High”, is a research-driven installation and visual identity project. It delivers a seamless editorial system across print formats, including a hardcover book, altar catalog, and informational pamphlets. These print elements unify tactile materials and engage viewers to thoughtfully challenge misconceptions about Haitian Vodou. The design balances cultural sensitivity with modern aesthetics, crafting a cohesive narrative.
