One Month after Being Known in That Island: Caribbean Art Today

The accompanying publication One month after being known in that island: Caribbean Art Today (Hatje Cantz) offers a visually arresting representation of the different positions represented in the show. Published in both German and English, the book includes an interview and rich selection of images drawn from the works of the eleven artistic in the show.

With essays by curators Yina Jiménez Suriel and Pablo Guardiola, as well as Marta Aponte Alsina and Rita Indiana, plus interviews with each of the featured artists, it illustrates how notions of cultural emancipation and the long shadow of colonial rule are being interpreted by regional and diasporic artists working today.

A foreword by Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger director Raphael Suter and an introduction by Caribbean Art Initiative director Albertine Kopp, the book explores the connection between Basel and the Caribbean, inspired by the curatorial approach proposed by Yina Jiménez Suriel and Pablo Guardiola. Featured artists: Ramón Miranda Beltrán, Minia Biabiany, Christopher Cozier, Sharelly Emanuelson, Nelson Fory Ferreira, Tessa Mars, Elisa Bergel Melo, José Morbán, Tony Cruz Pabón, Madeline Jiménez Santil, and Guy Régis Jr.
