Katonah Museum of Art Presents 'Intermittent Islands: Four Caribbean Women Artists'
The Katonah Museum of Art in New York presents 'Intermittent Islands: Four Caribbean Women Artists,' showcasing the works of Belkis Ayón, Yanira Collado, Marielle Plaisir, and Lisa C Soto. This exhibition reimagines the Caribbean as a dynamic space of cultural exchange and transformation, rather than a static identity, exploring how histories of displacement influence concepts of home. Ayón, a Cuban printmaker, delves into Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions through monumental collographs. Collado incorporates textiles and found materials to explore memory and cultural transmission. Plaisir's figurative art addresses race and social inequality, while Soto merges natural and industrial elements to examine territory and identity. The exhibition runs until January 24, 2027.
