Haitian Rara Band Metal Wall Hanging - Carnival Art of Haiti Metal Wall Decor - Haitian Recycled Steel Drum Metal Art Wall Hanging

Throughout Haiti, especially at the time of Lent and Easter, you will find Rara bands working their way through the roads and streets of Haiti, playing music on primitive instruments.

This decorative metal art wall hanging is hand cut from upcycled - recycled 50 gallon steel drums. Both ends of the drum are removed and placed inside of the remaining cylinder along with scrap paper, dried banana or sugar cane leaves. It is set on fire, to burn off any paint or residue. When cooled, the drum is cut down the side and flattened out to create a "metal canvas" of approximately 3' x 6', upon which the design is drawn. Using hammer, chisel and various primitive tools, the shape is cut and the various decorative patterns are pounded into the metal, creating a unique and treasured piece of primitive art. The finished design is coated with a protective finish. Can be hung indoors or outdoors.

Upcycling is to reuse an object or materials (55 gallon steel oil drums) to create a product of higher value or quality than the original object or materials. The process of taking something that would be thrown away and turning it into something useful and of value.

We make all of our metal art pieces in our own workshop in Port au Prince, Haiti. Our photos show some of the process of turning a recycled steel drum into a work of art for your home.
