fracture / repair at ArtSpeak Gallery

fracture / repair

ANDREW JACKSON, JUNIOR SEALY, NADIA HUGGINS, RENLUKA MAHARAJ, RICARDO MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ, DON BRODIE JR, CORY BISHOP
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.
