Caribbean Transformers: Becoming and Being in the New World

Coming Soon -- On view Jan 14 - Mar 30, 2025

Jan 16, 5-8 pm / Opening Reception

Jamaican-born painter, Alicia Brown examines the complex cultural forces faced by Caribbean natives living away from their homelands. With a nod to iconic freedom fighters like Nanny of the Maroons, Brown highlights ideas of camouflage, transformation, and the reconstruction of identity. The work draws parallels to the resourcefulness of women in her own family and to cultural practices preserved across generations and geographies.
