Land. Sea. Sugar. Salt.: Terrestrial and Aquatic Contemplations of the Caribbean offers a space of reflection about the Caribbean through the work of eleven artists, who continue to have familial and lived ties to the region. Each of the works speaks to an intimate engagement with the land, sharing a way of knowing it through physical experience and embodied knowledge. The work attests to the ways in which Caribbean communities resist, adapt, and create—sustaining powerful traditions of solidarity, cultural expression, and environmental care in the wake of the pressures of colonial legacies, social and economic inequity, and environmental incursions and climate change.
Featuring works by Alexandre Arrechea, Charles Campbell, Carolina Caycedo, Giana De Dier, Braxton Garneau, Deborah Jack, Las Nietas de Nonó, Hew Locke, Farihah Aliyah Shah, and Kara Springer.
The exhibition is circulated by Remai Modern with the support of the Frank & Ellen Remai Foundation.
