The Other Side of Now: Foresight in Contemporary Caribbean Art
CARIBBEAN FUTURE. CONVERSATION WITH MARÍA ELENA ORTIZ
Taking into account the number of Caribbean exhibitions focused on past and present histories, «The Other Side of Now: Foresight in Contemporary Caribbean Art» curated by María Elena Ortiz and Marsha Pearce at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) approaches the Caribbean as an experiment of possibilities based on time. From the question “what might a Caribbean future look like?” fourteen artists were invited to develop works that challenge the imaginary of exuberance, primitivism, sexuality, tropical paradise and catastrophe, that have defined the region. In this interview, we talked with María Elena Ortiz (Puerto Rico, 1984) about her curatorial trajectory, visibility platforms, and Caribbean future in the exhibition context.
