FORGOTTEN LANDS has emerged as a leading force in contemporary Caribbean art, serving as a vital platform that amplifies voices across the diaspora and launches the careers of emerging artists. Our mission centers on illuminating and archiving the often-overlooked narratives of the Caribbean while weaving together the region's rich historical tapestry.

Founded in 2017, founders Cory Torres Bishop and Don Brodie initially conceived FORGOTTEN LANDS as a benefit exhibition in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria. What began as an immediate response to environmental disaster has evolved into a dynamic 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Today, we forge meaningful collaborations with artists, galleries, institutions, and brands to create transformative projects spanning exhibitions, community events, artist talks, publications, and beyond.
