Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness are currency for US immigrants
During ’s fourth annual residency, six artists explore the full scope of Caribbean cultural, geopolitical, economical identity from the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the the time of colonization to present.
{¢}urren$ea plays on the intersection of currency + commerce, the movement over ocean + air currents. Whether through the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade or immigrating through sea or air, currents have carried us to this moment in time.
How do we have a Caribbean existence on our own terms after a difficult, divided history- exploring all of our identities beyond the tourism complex means slowly bridging and decolonizing our collective Caribbean experience.
Through visual art, artists investigate the Caribbean Odyssey, a journey of trials, tribulations and triumphs that Caribpolitans have endured & triumphed over to rebuild themselves within the Caribbean & the Diaspora.
