Caribbean Connections
March 15, 2024

Miami, although not located in the Caribbean, is the most Caribbean city per capita in the United States. The intertwined diasporas that call the city home create a vibrant tapestry of Caribbean culture. Although Miami is not geographically in the Caribbean, it undeniably embodies the spirit of the region. The city's unique perspective on the Caribbean and its deep understanding of its culture have significantly influenced Miami. Furthermore, Miami and the Dominican Republic share an Atlantic coast that historically served as a conduit between the Tainos, the indigenous people of the Dominican Republic, and the continent.

Santo Domingo, as the first permanent settlement of the "New World" and capital of the West Indies, holds historical significance as a starting point for the dissemination of European culture and the conquest of the continent. Being in a city with such a rich history adds depth to our understanding of the Caribbean.

Caribbean Connections seeks to illuminate these connections and debunk stereotypes about Caribbean art, while celebrating the broad reach of its diaspora. With this, the exhibition aims to offer a multifaceted representation of the Caribbean. It strives to facilitate a dialogue between artists, highlighting the shared influences and similarities between Miami and the Caribbean. After enduring generations of colonialism, power struggles, and cultural amalgamation, can a single definition truly encapsulate this region and its art?Miami, although not located in the Caribbean, is the most Caribbean city per capita in the United States.
