TERN Gallery recently announced its upcoming summer exhibition, “OPEN BORDERS,” opening today—Thursday, July 3, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:00pm—with a relaxed reception. “OPEN BORDERS” raises the question of connection and community in a geographical area [that] does not encourage ease of travel between our nations and asks, ‘What would our region look like if we indeed had open borders and were able to collaborate more efficiently?’” The exhibition will be at TERN until August 29, 2025.
Description: The group exhibition places the works of Crucian artist LaVaughn Belle, Dominican American artist Leonardo Benzant, Bahamian American artists Deborah Cartwright and Tamika Galanis, Bermudian artist Gherdai Hassell, Caymanian artists John Reno Jackson and Simon Tatum, Jamaican artist Richard Nattoo, and Haitian American artist Demetrius Wilson in conversations with one another, creating connections between them from all corners of our Caribbean region. Various themes that appear across the works are spiritualism, healing and concern with the changing climate.
“OPEN BORDERS” also raises the question of connection and community in a geographical area which, unlike the European Union, does not encourage ease of travel between our nations and asks, “What would our region look like if we indeed had open borders and were able to collaborate more efficiently?”
Opening just in time for the start of Bahamian Independence celebrations, “OPEN BORDERS” will remain on view until August 29th, 2025.
