Bigouné: life in stone Bigouné : la vie en pierres taillées

In the small community of Bigouné, next to Cormier, (in the 12th communal section of Léogane), stone sculpture is a passion for many young people. Some earn their daily bread by receiving art-loving customers from all regions of the country - even from abroad. Breaking, grating, sanding and drawing directly on to the stone – are just some of the gests carried-out on a daily basis since these artists received training back in 1999 from the well-known Haitian sculptor Joseph Ronald Laratte. Witness the community live-out its passion through watching this report on MINUSTAH TV Dans la petite localité de Bigouné, rattachée à Cormiers, 12e section communale de Léogane, la sculpture de pierre est la passion de nombreux jeunes. Certains y gagnent leur pain quotidien et reçoivent des clients de toutes les contrées du pays, voire de l’étranger. Casser, râper, sabler et dessiner la pierre, des exercices qu’ils font presqu’au quotidien depuis la formation qu’il ont reçue en 1999 de Joseph Ronald Laratte, sculpteur haïtien bien connu.
