Both born and formed on an island, my process is much like the sea… Fluid and surging. I have been working consistently and widely for over three decades; from steelbands and traditional mas to Trinidad theatre, to the indigenous people of Guyana and the Caribbean descendants in Central America, to the once outlawed spiritual practice of Orisha and my ever-evolving experience of water. These bodies of work, like bodies of water, are restless and ongoing, changing form and location but, inevitably, also returning.

Albert Chong is a contemporary artist working in the mediums of photography, installation, and mixed media art. He is the last child from a large family of shopkeepers/merchants with Afro-Chinese Jamaican parents. He currently resides in Boulder, Colorado, and Harkers Hall, St. Catherine, Jamaica. His works have referenced personal mysticism, spir- ituality, race, identity and African retentions in art, life and religious practice. His work in photography spans many genres and sometimes utilizes found, appropri- ated and familial photographs, as well as many types of objects primarily of an organic nature that serve as shamanic talismans and symbolic and referential signifiers. These works aspire to visually embed the narratives of race and ethnicity with the aesthetic whimsy required to sublimate and catalyze meaning and references. These works use analog and digital layering to create the sometimes dense but usually simple arrangements that infer, relate, connect and signify the comp

Guzmán investigates through performance, sculp- tures, drawing, painting and video that have an active life as catalysts. His artistic goal is to generate unex- pected exchanges in the realm of everyday public spaces and in artspaces. Alejandro aims to inspire Creative Misunderstandings; an examination of human interaction with abstracted forms, ritualized actions, and the participants’ emotional and intellectual response through the lens of their own personal his- tory and traditions in culture and society. Functioning as mobile sites of reflection and contemplation, his performance embodies a new form of masquerade that invites the audience to shed their inhibitions and freely engage in their surroundings with other people and ideas. The participants are moved to take part in an ecstatic fellowship that celebrates shared histories. Taking a physical approach to interaction, Guzmán’s practice is as playful as it is deeply confrontational.
Caribbean Transitions, 2022
The Cuban artist Alex Hernández Dueñas conceives the artistic creation from a trans-disciplinary perspective. Recently, his work has approached the universe of aesthetic preferences and the way of living of contemporary individuals. In this sense, he appeals to concepts like comfort, status, luxury, prosperity and commodities, all these parameters connected to hierarchal structures within the society and associated to specific cultural patterns. In the spirit of David Hockney, Richard Diebenkorn and Alex Katz, the use of flat and shiny colors has simplified his compositions. The atmosphere becomes rarified: surreal and unusual, it disorients the viewer and alludes to that space in dreams where the expectations and desires of a human group are expressed. His paintings reflect the Cuban dream of Miami as a Hollywood set: swimming pools abound and perfectly manicured lawns surrounding clean, modern houses and constant sunshine. The work comments on the isolation of Cubans and their lack

Alexandre Arrechea’s work com­­­prises large-scale installations, sculptures, watercolor drawings, and videos that debate such issues as history, memory, politics, and the power relations of the urban space. Arrechea’s mode of working site specifically makes him explore the ideological and philosophical legacy of the surrounding context to create a ­­more engaging interaction with the audience. His exploration of space contemplates cultural resonances implicit in architecture, from design to social value, and how these condition its multiple readings. This approach to dissecting architectural anatomies and spaces through drawings and installations explores the possibility of multiple conflicts embedded in architeture as result of the many decisions “hidden” in their structures. In this manner, Arrechea's work investigates the relationship between architecture, materiality, and the Black body. In Architectural Elements #1, this theme manifests the visceral visual relationship betwee

Alia Farid’s multidisciplinary practice—ranging from writing and drawing to film and sculpture—gives visibility to narratives that are obscured by hegemonic power. Farid’s work explores the ecological devastation of southern Iraq and the forced displacement of its people, the under-told histories of Arab and South Asian migration to Latin America and the Caribbean, and the intersectional Palestinian–Puerto Rican solidarity movement.

Born in Venezuela to Grenadian and Haitian migrant workers, Alvaro Barrington was raised between the Caribbean and Brooklyn, New York, by a network of relatives. An unwavering commitment to community informs his wide-ranging practice. While Barrington considers himself primarily a painter, his artistic collaborations encompass exhibitions, performances, concerts, fashion, philanthropy and contributions to the Notting Hill Carnival in London. His approach to painting is similarly inclusive – embracing non-traditional materials and techniques such as burlap, concrete, cardboard and sewing – and infused with references to his personal and cultural history. Influence and exchange are crucial to Barrington, who draws upon a host of artistic and cultural references in his work. His personal touchstones include rapper Tupac Shakur and 90s hip-hop culture, jazz and the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, Jamaican political activist Marcus Garvey, modernist icons such as Willem de Kooning, Paul

Amanda Linares (Havana, 1989) is a Cuban-born visual artist who currently lives and works in Miami. Her work expands like branches using an immense variety of media from design and drawing to installation and photography. Influenced by literature and spatial awareness, Amanda’s work contains poetic language while exploring narration and/or space through the use of reflection, transparency, revelation, found objects, and typographical solutions. Although in constant change, her work intimately dances between many universal issues, such as identity, displacement, absence, and reconnection. Her eagerness for learning new ways to express herself led her to study graphic design at New World School of the Arts. She’s currently a resident artist at the Bakehouse Art Complex.

In a brief yet prolific career, the Cuban-born artist Ana Mendieta® created groundbreaking work in photography, film, video, drawing, sculpture, and site-specific installations. The major themes in her work are exile, displacement, and a return to the landscape, which remain profoundly relevant today. Her unique hybrid of form and documentation, works that she titled “siluetas,” are fugitive and potent traces of the artist’s inscription of her body in the landscape, often transformed by natural elements such as fire and water.

Andrea Chung is an American artist born in Newark, NJ and currently works in San Diego, CA. Her work focuses primarily on island nations in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean sea; specifically on how outsiders perceive a fantastic reality in spaces deemed as “paradise”. In conjunction, she explores relationships between these cultures, migration, and labor - all within the context of colonial and postcolonial regimes. Her projects bring in conscientious elements of her own labor and incorporate materials significant to the cultures she studies. This can be seen in works such as, “Bato Disik”, displayed in 2013 at the Helmuth Projects, where the medium of sugar represents the legacy of sugar plantations and colonial regime.

Angel Otero is a contemporary visual artist specializing in painting. Otero's work is characterized by an interest in personal history, expressionistic abstraction, and Spanish Baroque painterly traditions.His relationship with his family, his life in Puerto Rico, and his personal history figure greatly in his artwork.[2] Stylistically, Otero practices a process-based art that combines painting and assemblage. Otero creates “oilskins, " which are created from paint poured onto glass and peeled off in sheets after drying. These skins are then grafted onto the artist’s canvas or sculpture. Otero combines them with other materials including resin, spray paint, and silicone. Both small and large-scale paintings are created using this method

Annalee Davis' hybrid practice is as a visual artist, cultural activist, and writer. Her work sits at the intersection of biography and history, focussing on post-plantation economies by engaging with a particular landscape of Barbados. Her studio, located on a working dairy farm that operated historically as a 17th century sugarcane plantation, offers a critical context for her work. Drawing, walking, making (bush) teas, and growing living apothecaries, Annalee’s practice suggests future strategies for repair and thriving while investigating the role of botanicals and living plots as ancestral sites of refusal, counter-knowledge, community, and healing.

Aubrey Williams (8 May 1926 – 17 April 1990) was a Guyanese artist. He was best known for his large, oil-on-canvas paintings, which combine elements of abstract expressionism with forms, images and symbols inspired by the pre-Columbian art of indigenous peoples of the Americas. Born in Georgetown in British Guiana (now Guyana), Williams began drawing and painting at an early age. He received informal art tutoring from the age of three, and joined the Working People's Art Class at the age of 12. After training as an agronomist he worked as an Agricultural Field Officer for eight years, initially on the sugar plantations of the East Coast and later in the North-West region of the country—an area inhabited primarily by the indigenous Warao people. His time among the Warao had a dramatic impact on his artistic approach, and initiated the complex obsession with pre-Columbian arts and cultures that ran throughout his artistic career.

Barbara Walker MBE, is a British artist based in Birmingham in the UK. Her work is informed by the social, political and cultural realities that affect her life and the lives of those around her. Growing up in Birmingham, her experiences have directly shaped a practice concerned with issues of class and power, gender, race, representation and belonging. Her figurative drawings and paintings tell contemporary stories hinged on historical circumstances, making them universally understood and reflecting a human perspective on the state of affairs in her native Britain and elsewhere. Referred to by the art historian Eddie Chambers as “one of the most talented, productive and committed artists of her generation”, Walker makes portraits in a range of media and formats, from small embossed works on paper to paintings on canvas and large-scale charcoal wall drawings. Her works depict subjects who are often cast as minorities, inviting the viewer to look beyond the anonymising act of categoris

Miami is Not the Caribbean. Yet it Feels Like it.
Bony Ramirez was born in 1996 in Tenares, Salcedo, Dominican Republic. He currently lives and works in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Born in a small town in the Dominican Republic, Bony Ramirez retains a connection to his Dominican heritage through his art, incorporating elements of the Caribbean with his own distinctive details. Through a combination of painting and drawing, Ramirez adheres life-size paper figures onto painted wood panels. His subjects are bold yet strange, often appearing mysteriously oversized or contorted. Bony Ramirez adheres black and brown drawn figures onto painted wood panels, creating mixed medium portraits that portray contemporary Caribbean life and the underlying European colonialist history that remains in the psyche of individuals. Bony's expanded practice of incorporating new materials into his portraits, namely wallpaper, swords, and rhinestones, to bring physical and allegorical depth to the stories he tells about Caribbean history and daily life.

Boscoe Holder pursued arts associated with local folk traditions which he incorporated into many of his own works himself. After a trip to Martinique where he encountered the Nardal sisters whose journal contributed significantly to Black culture in Paris, he focused his own work on blending his various talents into choreographic dramatizations of Caribbean culture.
Camille Chedda (born 1985, Manchester, Jamaica) is a visual artist who utilizes drawing, painting, collage and installation to explore ideas around race and post-colonial identity. She works with everyday materials such as plastic bags, cement and concrete blocks as surfaces to be manipulated, or as stand alone objects that retain cultural significance. A recurrent theme in her work is construction, destruction and temporality. Even within her drawings and cement objects, there is an aspect of decay that is evoked. Chedda seeks to uncover and recover aspects of a lost identity through this process.

Known for his multi-disciplinary practice whose work employs a wide range of media to explore themes of craft, ritual, beauty, spirituality, identity and its relationship to art history and the institution. Born to a Puerto-Rican family, Rolón’s background allows the artist to explore personal ideas which directly deal with questions of inclusion, aspiration and cultural identity. Often connecting childhood memories, the artist bore witness to the ways in which households have adapted to new American middle-class lifestyles with homes, walls and furniture adorned with ephemera of color, texture, patterns and items brought into the home to create a sense of longing. It is from here Rolón takes inspiration and transforms these vantage points producing a hybrid language of exuberant flora paintings, sculpture, social practice and site-specific installations composed of diverse materials that offer opportunities for self-reflection, rich symbolism and community engagement, bridging the div

Since 2012, Caycedo has conducted an ongoing project, Be Dammed, examining the wide-reaching impacts of dams built along waterways by transnational corporations, including the displacement and dispossession of peoples, particularly in Latin American countries such as Brazil or Colombia (where she was raised and frequently returns).

He seeks to transform everyday objects into signs or vocabularies to generate dialogues across different geographies, histories, and contemporary experiences. His work investigates the problematic space of post-independence, symbols of power which remain and shape narratives of development, and commercial expansion and profitability.

Christopher Irons was born in 1973, in Portland, Jamaica, and is a graduate of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. His works are predominately satirical commentaries on current social and political events in Jamaica manifested through assemblages consisting mainly of found objects.
Cosmo Whyte (b. 1982, St. Andrew, Jamaica) employs drawing, sculpture, and photography to explore the intersections of race, nationalism, and displacement. His large scale drawings pose the celebratory body of Jamaican and diasporic communities in states of jubilation. His figures, adorned with gold leaf and black glitter, defy their colonial past, tearing it from their bodies through unbridled dance.

Edouard Duval-Carrié was born and raised in Haiti, and lived in Puerto Rico, New York, Montreal, Paris, and Miami. Parallels thus emerge between the art- ist’s cosmopolitan lifestyle and his artistic sensitivity toward the multifaceted identities that form his native Haiti. Duval-Carrié’s art challenges the viewer to make meaning of dense iconography derived from Carib- bean history, politics, and religion. His mixed media works and installations present migrations and trans- formations, often human and spiritual. At their most fundamental, Duval-Carrié’s works ask the viewer to complicate the Western canon, to consider how Africa has shaped the Americas, and how the Caribbean has shaped the modern world. His works have been exhib- ited in major museums, art institutions and galleries in Africa, Europe and the Americas. Duval-Carrié creates works that speak to the complexities of the Caribbean and its diaspora.

Fred Wilson is an artist from the Bronx, New York. His work challenges colonial assumptions and narratives of history, culture, and race, pushing viewers to look at marginalized histories, especially exploring how models of categorization exemplify and display fraught ideologies and power relations inherent in institutions. He also does work with the Murano glass company, with black glass, taking up a particular interest in the role of the colour black as representative of African American people through being placed upon them as a representation. He works with sculpture, photography, collage, printmaking, painting, and installation art.

Born in 1937 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Télémaque left for New York in 1957 entering an art scene dominated by Abstract Expressionism. In 1961, he moved permanently to Paris, associating with the Surrealists and later co-founding the Narrative Figuration movement in France with art critic Gérald Gassiot-Talabot and artist Bernard Rancillac. A reaction against the dominant trend towards Abstract art and the developing movement of Pop art in North America, Télémaque’s Narrative Figuration often results in works with a Pop sensibility that incorporate consumer objects and signs. The artist then inflects these images with an astute criticality, producing work in dialogue with current events, such as the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis, US intervention in the Dominican Republic, and contemporary French politics.

Jamilah Sabur (b. Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, FL. Metaphysics, geology, and memory are recurrent themes in the work of Jamilah Sabur. In her practice, the artist employs a distinct poetics, reframing territory and nationality. She explores the temporary nature of existence and our fleeting presence in it, a thread that connects us all. A new planetary literacy emerges in her work, where alternate geographies become possible as submerged histories are revealed.

José Bedia studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana. Bedia’s art has been strongly influenced by Amerindian and Afro-Cuban ideas. He became an ini- tiate of Palo Monte, a Cuban religion that is believed to have evolved from the Kongo in Africa. His paintings include such imagery as Afro-Cuban altars and Abakuá symbols. Abakuá is an Afro-Cuban men’s initiatory fra- ternity said to have originated in southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon. Elements of mysticism in Bedia’s work may have been drawn from these sources. Bedia left Cuba in 1990, settling initially in Mexico where he studied Indigenous art and culture. In 1993, Bedia moved to the US. Bedia has dedicated himself to the study of many cultures outside of Europe and the US. He lived among the Dakota Sioux and learned much about their religion, cultural practices, and iconography.

Maintaining an activist stance for over four decades, his art is an arena of creative and political inquiry that encompasses the individual, family, and the communities with which he engages, as well as the world at large. Sánchez emerged as a central figure in a generation of artists using diverse media to explore ethnic, racial, national identity and social justice in the 1980s and ’90s.

Controversial. Powerful. Honest. These key words describe sculptor Laura Facey and her work that has spanned over a forty-year career. Laura interprets the energy of the earth, the lush vegetation and the con- stant river at her home in St. Ann, Jamaica. She takes the strength, beauty and history of the land combined with her personal spiritual alchemy and translates it into storytelling creations—sculpture as a soul-jour- ney through pain into light—taking in life and breathing out love.

LeRoy Clarke was born in Belmont, Port of Spain, and is considered to be one of Trinidad & Tobago’s finest contemporary artists. Clarke himself states in no unclear manner that he paints for enlightenment, to bring people closer and that he paints with an intention for revolution. He also describes his as being ‘obeah’, a deliberate evocation of untainted African energy and spirituality, both erased from modern consciousness. His paintings are intended as destroyers of the enemies of humanity, particularly African humanity. His work explores the symbol of Douens, who were the sad playful characters of Trinidad and Tobago folklore. He saw these as a symbol of ‘the plight of third world peoples under the tutelage of conquerors.’ This idea is central to his work. He looked at the image of them as powerful, a radical way of relating old and familiar insights and image to the turbulent politics of the late 20th century Caribbean.

Manuel Mathieu (b. 1986) is a multi-disciplinary artist, working with painting, ceramics and installation. His work investigates themes of historical violence, erasure and cultural approaches to physicality, nature and spiritual legacy. Mathieu’s interests are partially informed from his upbringing in Haiti, and his experience emigrating to Montréal at the age of 19. Freely operating in between and borrowing from numerous historical influences and traditions, Mathieu aims to find meaning through a spiritual or asemic mode of apparition. Mathieu has developed a distinctive abstract visual language, used to create phenomenological encounters that confront our didactic traditions. Amorphous forms vacillate and dissolve into one another, creating boundless landscapes traversable through desire.

María Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959, La Vega, Matanzas, Cuba) is an artist whose work combines and crosses diverse artistic practices, including photogra- phy, painting, sculpture, film, video, and performance. Her work addresses issues of history, memory, gender, and religion; it investigates how each of these themes influences identity formation. Directly informed by the traditions, rituals, and practices of her ancestors, her work is deeply autobiographical. Often using herself and her Afro-Cuban relatives as subjects, she creates historical narratives that illuminate the spirit of people and places, past and present, thereby rendering uni- versal relevance from personal history. Recalling dark narratives of the transatlantic slave trade, her imagery and performances honor the labor of Black bodies on sugar plantations, renew Catholic and Santerían reli- gious practices, and celebrate revolutionary uprisings in the Americas.

Nari Ward (b. 1963, St. Andrew, Jamaica), who lives and works in New York, is known for his sculptural instal- lations composed of discarded material found and col- lected in his neighborhood. He has repurposed objects such as baby strollers, shopping carts, bottles, doors, television sets, cash registers, and shoelaces, among other materials. Ward re-contextualizes these found objects in thought-provoking juxtapositions that create complex, metaphorical meanings to confront social and political issues surrounding race, poverty, and con- sumer culture. He intentionally leaves the meaning of his work open, allowing the viewer to provide his or her own interpretation.

Artist and photographer born and raised in Puerto Rico, his work explores the “complex and fraught history of U.S. colonialism, paternalism, and exploitation in Puerto Rico”, and the struggles of Latin American and Caribbean people, both within their homelands and the diaspora. He also challenges the ways that traditional anthropology, history, and museums of history tell these very stories.
Paul Anthony Smith (b. 1988, Jamaica), who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, creates paintings and picotage on pigment prints that explore the artist’s auto- biography, as well as issues of identity within the African diaspora. Referencing both W.E.B. Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness and Frantz Fanon’s theory of diasporic cultural confusions caused by colonialism, Smith alludes to fences, borders, and barriers to con- ceal and alter his subjects and landscapes. Smith’s practice celebrates the rich and com- plex histories of the post-colonial Caribbean and its people. Memory, migration and home are central to Smith’s work, which probes questions of hybrid iden- tities between worlds old and new. Smith’s layered picotage is often patterned in the style of Caribbean breeze block fences and modernist architectural ele- ments that function as veils, meant both to obscure and to protect Smith’s subjects from external gaze. While photography typically functions as a way in which

He specializes in ephemeral works with political but poetic nuance, and installations celebrating his Puerto Rican heritage. His paintings serve as a homage not only to the people and places of the Caribbean, but also the political and economic dynamics between the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean islands.

As a Latinx contemporary artist, my work is con- cerned with creating narratives that are essential to the understanding of the Americas and the American experience. My work intends to unveil the many ongo- ing cultural encounters that continuously shape and reshape how we view, perceive, and color America. My work is centered on the politics of inclusion. Race, the politics of color (formally and conceptually), is essen- tial to me. The cinnamon figure has been a constant in my work since 1996. Mixing all the colors in a pal- ette is an inclusive action; the outcome of such activity is cinnamon color. The new race, represented by my ever-present cinnamon figure, states the creation of a new aesthetic. This unique aesthetic with new rules originated from the lush landscape, the transpla

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and having earned her degree in Fine Arts at New York University, Muriente is a visual artist who mines contemporary cultural institutions and historical sites for evidence of contradictory or contested narratives. She has participated in experimental pedagogical platforms led by artists substituting graduate studies with a collaborative process of learning and unlearning. Through a multitude of approaches to documentation, her work aims to deepen the subjectivity of historical narratives, examining formal and informal archives, popular imaginaries and oral history. She eventually moved back to Puerto Rico as a fellow at Beta-Local’s La Práctica, an artistic research and production program, allowing her to deepen her work with video art, self-publishing, and installation.

Sonia Dawn Boyce, (born 1962) is a British Afro-Caribbean artist and educator, living and working in London. She is a Professor of Black Art and Design at University of the Arts London. Boyce's research interests explore art as a social practice and the critical and contextual debates that arise from this area of study. With an emphasis on collaborative work, Boyce has been working closely with other artists since 1990, often involving improvisation and spontaneous performative actions on the part of her collaborators. Boyce's work involves a variety of media, such as drawing, print, photography, video, and sound. Her art explores "the relationship between sound and memory, the dynamics of space, and incorporating the spectator". To date, Boyce has taught Fine Art studio practice for more than 30 years in several art colleges across the UK.

Born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, in 1988, Viktor El-Saieh moved to Miami as a child and studied Political Science at Florida International University (FIU). He currently lives and works between the two cities.
