Summary:

"The Caribbean diaspora is a global phenomenon that transgresses political boundaries, identities, and histories. Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora 1990s-Today challenges conventional representations of Caribbean art, focusing on art of the diaspora rather than art defined by static geographic, ethnic, linguistic, and historical categories. Featuring essays by a group of multi-dimensional authors and works by an intergenerational group of artists living and working in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Great Britain, France, the expanded Caribbean Basin, and the island nations of the Caribbean, the catalogue is informed by Caribbean intellectual traditions, diaspora studies, and Black and alternative geographies of fugitivity"-- Provided by publisher.
