Description: While we speak of “the Caribbean” as a single region, it is, in fact, a complex and varied place defined by intricate intersections of histories and cultures that exist across an intricately delineated geography. The region encompasses over 700 islands, as well as portions of mainland countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, Belize, Nicaragua, and Guyana, sharing Indigenous histories, colonialism, African diaspora, and ongoing struggles for sovereignty and environmental justice.
Land. Sea. Sugar. Salt.: Terrestrial and Aquatic Contemplations of the Caribbean is curated by Michelle Jacques, Head of Exhibitions & Collections/Chief Curator, and Sally Frater, Senior Curator/Curatorial Manager.
