Land. Sea. Sugar. Salt.: Terrestrial and Aquatic Contemplations of the Caribbean

Event Overlay

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.

Many people know the region only through tourism, a lens that can provide an understanding that is little more than superficial. Land. Sea. Sugar. Salt. aims to create a space of reflection and elucidation by giving primacy to the voices of eleven artists who think deeply about the Caribbean and have familial and lived ties to the region.

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 of Remai Modern.
