Intermittent Islands: Four Caribbean Women Artists

This exhibition brings together four artists who explore the histories, cultures, and diasporas of the Caribbean: Belkis Ayón, Yanira Collado, Marielle Plaisir, and Lisa C Soto. Their practices range from figuration to abstraction and incorporate painting, collage, crochet, and printmaking as both artistic techniques and ways of connecting memories, traditions, and communities. Through inquiry-based tours, students will investigate how the artists use materials and processes to weave together personal and global histories while considering contemporary issues of identity, justice, community, and belonging.

In The Pollack Family Learning Center, students will also experience Sonja John’s site-specific installation Balikbayan (return home). Utilizing botanical forms, photographs of place, and translucent materials, John creates layered environments that incorporate elements of her surroundings in New York City with recollections of her family’s places of origin: Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and the Philippines.

All tours include a hands-on art activity inspired by the artworks on view, inviting students to explore ideas of memory and identity through collage and printmaking techniques.
