Coffee, Rhum, Sugar & Gold:a Postcolonial Paradox

«Coffee, Rhum, Sugar & Gold: A Postcolonial Paradox», an exhibition on view at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), looks at the legacy of European colonialism in the Caribbean through the work of ten contemporary artists. Whether connected to the Caribbean by birth or focused on the region by choice, the exhibiting artists use their work as a means of examining the relationship between the power structure, those who are controlled by it, those who benefit from it, and those who actively seek to liberate themselves from it. With roots in a variety of Caribbean countries including the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, participating artists are Firelei Báez, Leonardo Benzant, Andrea Chung, Adler Guerrier, Lucia Hierro, Lavar Munroe, Angel Otero, Ebony G. Patterson, Phillip Thomas, and Didier William.

La muestra «Dust Specks on the Sea» se centra en obras escultóricas de 22 artistas de Guadalupe, Martinica, Guayana Francesa y Haití que, a través de diversos enfoques temáticos, materiales y procesos, hablan de las prácticas contemporáneas de artistas de la región, mostrando su participación en un mundo artístico globalizado y cuestionando las nociones de quién está al «centro» y quién está en la «periferia».
