Fracture/Repair

Opening Reception
Friday, April 5, 6 – 9 pm

Fracture/Repair unfolds as a transcultural examination of diasporic relationships to land across the Caribbean, framing ancestral and contemporary Caribbean landscapes as a backdrop for discourse concerning the politics of location, dislocation, displacement, and dispossession. Where histories and ongoing practices of exploitation, colonization, imperialism, and resource extraction pillar cultural and spiritual memory, a unique perspective of geography and nationhood emerges – planting a visual language of place-making, care, participation, love, and critique. The archival reimaginings, collage, and digital photography on view capture themes of labour, 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 features artwork by Nadia Huggins, Andrew Jackson, Renluka Maharaj, Junior Sealy, and Ricardo Miguel Hernandez.
