Caribbean Crossroads of the World - NYC Exhibition

“Caribbean: Crossroads of the World” offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the diverse and impactful cultural history of the Caribbean basin and its diaspora.

More than 500 works of art spanning four centuries illuminate changing aesthetics and ideologies and provoke meaningful conversations about topics ranging from commerce and cultural hybridity to politics and pop culture.

Danish artists Camille Pissaro, Fritz Melbye, Hugo Larsen, Jeanette Ehlers and Nanna Dubois Buhl all participate with works for this exhibition.

The installation by New York based Nanna Dubois Buhl “Eyewitness Accounts” combines a series of drawings with documentation of Hugo Larsen’s work. The images are presented side by side with a text written directly on the wall as captions below the images.
