(in)visible: pair-a-dice

When the word paradise comes to mind, most people think of a tropical beach, on an island, with a lot of culture and great food. For most Caribbean inhabitants, where they live is not so much so. Visitors to these vacation destinations do not follow the workers back to their homes, to their neighborhoods to witness the scarcity of necessities that the Islanders call home. Their hospitable smile, pleasing gestures and welcoming spirit is a coping mechanism to survive the touristic dangers, financial inequality, and life that we see as simple. This exhibition focuses on metaphorical materiality and the many faces of identity within Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean people. This exhibition is for them/us, immigrants. It starts a conversation of otherness, here, at home, and in pair-a-dice.
