Join us for the public opening day of Fragments of Epic Memory.
Fragments of Epic Memory invites visitors to explore the Caribbean and its diaspora, placing historical documents in dialogue with an immersive array of contemporary art.
The exhibition is anchored by a selection of over one hundred photographs from the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Montgomery Collection of Caribbean Photographs. These photographs document the aftermath of emancipation in the nineteenth century, a period that coincided with the invention of photography.
Fragments of Epic Memory is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and is curated by Julie Crooks, Curator, Arts of Global Africa and the Diaspora at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The Columbus Museum of Art’s presentation is organized by Daniel Marcus, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions.
