Descrizione:
The use of monuments as futurerelics to validate and preserve the identity of AfroCaribbean people within the Anglophone Caribbean is the premise for the conceptual and physical development of my studio practice. My book is about this practice and how the art work that I make, function in the way they are intended. The work monumentalizes Black identity in an effort to mirror the significance and resilience of the Black self within the Caribbean; a space that was created by Europeans to enrich their respective Empires. I put forward the use of established canonical art practices as a methodology to map one culture unto the other as a way of presenting the Black narrative to the Black viewer.
