The Other Side of Now: Foresight in Contemporary Caribbean Art

Hundreds of independent art spaces were forced to close due to the Corona-crisis. We want to celebrate some artistic events that are right now sitting behind closed doors. This time: a thematic group exhibition in the Pérez Art Museum, Miami, centered on the question, “what might a Caribbean future look like?”.
