Her origin story begins in Brooklyn, New York. Learning to overcome language and cultural barriers, "Having been treated as an outsider, I understand how important it is for an individual to have a sense of ownership in their identity and their rights to express their truths." The feeling of exclusion ended when she came to present at a conference in 2001. She fell in love with the city of New Orleans and relocated to Louisiana a year later. Louisiana's cultural richness perfectly matched her core values of cultural leadership and community service. As a creative, Petrouchka’s artwork investigates the search for identity through the mediums of resin, wood, word, and water. She is Louisiana's first graduate with a Doctor of Design in Cultural Preservation from Louisiana State University College of Art + Design. Dr. Petrouchka Moïse is a 2020 CLIR/Mellon Postdoctoral Alum in Data Curation for Haitian Visual Arts. She works jointly with the Grinnell College Library and the Waterloo Center for the Arts as the co-lead of the Haitian Art Digital Crossroads (HADC) Project. Dr. Petrouchka Moïse is an Assistant Professor / Cultural & Community-based Digital Curator at Grinnell College Libraries. Dr. Moise is working on an archival collection inspired by her late daughter, Kaiya “Soskii” Smith, a youth slam poet. Petrouchka aims to continue her studies and work with others in art, culture, and education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1518457025990-FQXVOK5GEYMDJFWKF165/Greenwell+Springs+Women%27s+Month+%282%29.png The Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1507279966701-T1SN97TATMXYWMN6M0VN/btf+1.jpg The Artist Kaiya Smith walks the runway at the 2016 Bigger Than Fashion Show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1507280222284-ZJFMJYR0GK9WGKFN9W81/btf2.jpg The Artist Petrouchka hand paints silk fabric that will be used in the fashion show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1507280628695-18OQBZN73GAIXZAW5J63/btf3.jpg The Artist Shiqing Duan, LSU, and Rachel Settoon assist in painting the fabrics. http://www.vivrestudios.com/the-scholar daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1531582236519-DXLLZI0NGPJ7KSLCDERL/Image+%282%29.jpg The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1559706488152-N7FNP6O5C0CF2UHDPG5H/sign.jpg The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1596784132304-PY70BWFKYPMPN5PZDTWT/Picture3.png The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1648266174132-KBM44Y0UJODB25ADHKCR/IMG_5058.jpeg The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1648266378927-VNME8NUBH9BIOWS3NRXJ/IMG_9974.jpeg The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1651785115830-YNI9HYH8JRANF4LDB9PK/1.png The Scholar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5733ee4186db43fa40ac9cb6/1559708660278-GTGDZZ2WJ7CK68KTDQJX/sign.png The Scholar REPRESENTING THE ARTS AND CULTURE PILLAR FOR LSU’s FOUNDATION 2019 “FIERCE for the FUTURE CAMPAIGN” The arts are an essential element of a well-rounded education and a purposeful life, inspiring new ways of thinking and cultivating the holistic skill sets our students need to excel.
