The "Visual Life of Social Affliction" (VLOSA) seeks to grapple with the ways in which Caribbean visual practice critically engages long-standing experiences of social suffering. Recognizing the real senses in which the Caribbean not only was born in the structural violence of Native genocide, African slavery, and Indian indenture instituted by colonial powers, but has been sustained since then by the relentless continuation of institutionalized disrespect, disregard, and dishonor, this project seeks to capture the destructive impact of dominating powers on the lives of Caribbean people.
"VLOSA" will open on Thursday, August 22nd, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. The opening is free and all are invited. |
