Caribbean contemporary art: From (neo)colonial outpost to creative eco/system

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the ways in which contemporary Caribbean addressed global processes of marketisation and cultural exchange over the last decades. The aim is to explore the inclusion of art from the region within global art circuits, exploring the establishment of regional networks of creation and distribution and the configuration of alternative institutional platforms for the circulation and consumption of artistic and visual projects. Ultimately, this chapter positions the Caribbean at the centre of global artistic exchanges, thus challenging Western-centred and Eurocentric understandings of artistic ecosystems and advancing a materialist and postcolonial-infused paradigm for the study of the economics of artistic production.
