About this Event
The Caribbean Solidarity Network study circle invites communities to ground their thinking and organizing in deep historical knowledge, especially in the radical thought of the Caribbean and its diaspora. This study circle is paired with an intimate artist talk with Julianna A.S.
Material allows for experiences similar to storytelling, as the experience of viewing and engaging with the material and interacting in the space reminds and transports the viewer. Through this artist talk, Julianna A.S. explores the concept of absence and presence through the manifestation of a hand-carved object that instill recognition, remembrance, or reflection. Through the power of storytelling and craftsmanship, the talk invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of absence, presence, labour rights, and deforestation in the Caribbean, fostering a deeper understanding of these pressing issues.
Masks encouraged. Wheelchair accessible venue.
