"Mr. Nerestan’s art concerns the spirit and speaks to his ancestral roots in Haitian Vodou. In 2011 the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCADI) in New York City exhibited his work in its Standing with Papa Legba exhibit, one of a two-part multimedia project (Re-Imaging Haiti) with the Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora Arts (MoCADA). The Foundry Art Centre included more of his work in its Concerning the Spiritual exhibit in the winter of 2016-17." Frisner Augustin Memorial Archive.
