Born and nurtured in Little Haiti, Florida, where he’s currently based, Woosler Delisfort is the living embodiment of creative essence rooted in the depths of heritage and community. Delisfort is a self-taught documentary photographer and filmmaker whose mission is to explore the core principles affecting the collective Human Spirit. His practice uses storytelling to weave together anecdotes and illuminate the realities of our world. Delisfort began his career documenting the emotion, humanity, and spirituality of Little Haiti’s citizens, hoping to replace negative stereotypes with images of joy, life, and creative expression. His work crosses into the borders of the Caribbean and West Africa, where he continues to examine the complexities of spirituality and communal ceremonies. His latest work, SANCTUARY: Our Sacred Place explores the spiritual origins of Miami’s Indigenous, African, and Caribbean communities by capturing moments of divine connection in temples, churches, and mosques. The more than 100-piece exhibition highlights how these cultures are harnessing sacred spaces in Miami as vital sources of life, both politically and spiritually. This project is part of a residency presented by the HistoryMiami’s Center for Photography and will be exhibited in August 2024. Delisfort is a past recipient of the Wavemaker Awards by Locust Projects through his collaboration with Third Horizon, and the Ellies Award, by Oolite Arts. He is a member of the Iris Collective and a board member of the Haitian Cultural Alliance
