flag: Haiti

Haiti is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, with a flag of two colors: blue and red. The country's coat of arms is depicted in the center.

This country is the first Black nation to gain independence through a slave revolution. It is also known for its unique culture, art, and music.

The center of the Haitian flag features a coat of arms symbolizing liberty and independence, commemorating its 1804 independence from France. The Caribbean region's unique Vodou and Creole cultures inspire artists worldwide.

While facing natural disasters and political difficulties in modern times, Haiti preserves its rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Haitian naive art and music, in particular, are internationally recognized and influence many contemporary artists.
