The Travelers is a multi-media installation that projects videos and audio tracks that tell  stories about Caribbean migration from one country to another. The project is partly inspired by stories told by my senior family members of their travels in the 1950s-1990s. Interviews also inspire the project. Interviews by writers, historians, and public figures like C.L.R. James, Maurice Bishop, and Fidel Castro, who  offer insights into the geopolitics of the  Caribbean during the 20th century.

For the installation of the Cayman Islands Biennial, I have created a new set of ceramic sculptures that resemble pottery, 1980s car stereos, or gramophone funnels, and the ceramics hold audio players inside of them. These sculptural objects when placed together in the exhibition space share multiple stories simultaneously, making the installation a multi-channel broadcast system for the viewer. 

I am pleased to premier the  new multi-media installation as part of the Cayman Island Biennial exhibition.  It will be on view at the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands from 2 Oct, 2025- 18 Feb, 2026.

The  4th edition of the Cayman Islands Biennial, titled “Archipelago”, foregrounds the unique intersection of individual and collective roles in shaping the current moment, just as an archipelago can be viewed as both a single conglomerate entity and as hundreds of distinct islands with individual shores. Recognising the pressing need for open and constructive dialogue, this exhibition is a nexus for the open exchange of critical ideas, personal reflection, and imaginative possibilities.

The exhibition is guest curated by Davin K. Ebanks  and Joseph L. Underwood.
