Kingston Biennial 2022

Mixed media artist focusing on the ephemerality of psychological interiorities and black mythologies, using mediums, made or found, to blur the distinction between stereotype and representation, geography and memory, and to reveal or hide western contentions with the black body.

Multimedia artist whose current art practice focuses on investigating the trope of the othered native within the paradigm of “paradise” and tourism industries. Her work borrows imagery, techniques, and formats from the culture of craft and souvenir-making in the Caribbean such as wall hangings, postcards, and gift items.

Sculptor also trained in jewelery and textile design whose poetically inflected works are grounded in the specificity of the Caribbean landscape and the region’s colonial past, but they open out into universal themes, most prominently transformation and the construction of identity.

Jamaican writer and photographer based in Trinidad and Tobago known for best-sellers including Black Leopard, Red Wolf and A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Sculptor known for his unorthodox, thought-provoking, and risqué topics and expressions of art based in Jamaica.

Painter whose work attempts to provoke meaningful interventions in the world’s precarious state, as well as to incite African people to take action to correct their global subjugation. His art emanates from a place where history, experience, and self-realization coalesce into a martial epistemology of black self-preservation.

Jamaican artist from Warsop, Trelawny, who works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, digital design, and sculpture.

Mixed media artist incorporating a wide range of materials and mediums to explore themes of life’s experiences.

Jamaican multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses multi-sensory installation, sculpture, video, photography, and printmaking. His practice considers how current realities are shaped by both visible and less visible histories.

Painter whose works have been described as brave, dense, bold, thoroughly executed, and deeply felt. Intense and disturbing, they stimulate questions about our collective prejudices, our psychological spaces, and our notions of belonging.

Contemporary realist oil painter. Brown’s practice examines mimicry in nature and applies it to the human world, elaborating on the historical tensions of colonisation, appropriation, class, and self-agency.

Painter using cultural reliquaries, artifacts, and social curiosities that represent the cultural tapestry of the Caribbean and the wider “new world” using mediums and other agents of the old world.
