April 3–June 22, 2024
Now and always, artists and art institutions are called to visualize our histories and the possibilities of our future anchored to the values that shape humanity. A reflective response to the global calls to action concerning reparations, climate justice, occupation and collective memory, and fracture / repair unfolds as a transcultural examination of diasporic relationships to land and place across the Caribbean. The exhibition frames ancestral and contemporary Caribbean landscapes as a backdrop for discourse concerning the politics of location, dislocation, displacement, and dispossession. Where histories of
exploitation, colonization, imperialism, and ongoing resource extraction pillar cultural and spiritual recollection, a unique perspective of geography and nationhood emerges, capturing themes of labor, sovereignty, belonging, and reconnection. The exhibition weaves a diverse collection of ecological queries informed by the transient and transformational ruptures and perpetual reassembling of the colonial project that is the Caribbean.
fracture / repair is co-curated by Don Brodie JR and Cory Bishop of Forgotten Lands, and proudly contributes to the 2024 Capture Photography Festival.
