Temple Na-Ri-VéH 777

Temple Na-Ri-VéH 777 is a Haitian Vodou temple located in downtown Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in the Grand Belair neighborhood, which was part of a maroon colony during the colonial period. The Temple is rooted in the tradition of Lakou Jisou. It was founded in 1997 by Jean-Daniel Lafontant, a Sèvitè (servant) of the lwa (spirits), who still serves as the temple's guardian. The Temple houses artistic and traditional objects, some pre-Columbian and others dating from the colonial period and the Haitian Revolution. In that spiritual eclectic amalgam, contemporary works of art cohabitate with ritual objects, with each piece or object taking on a sacred character, as they are believed to be appropriated by the Lwa themselves. In 2024, Lafontant created Espas Milokan, a digital archive website for the temple.
