What Is ‘Contemporary’ Caribbean Culture

Hundreds of independent art and museums spaces were forced to close due to the Corona-Crisis. In this series we are celebrating the fantastic artistic events that are right now sitting behind closed doors. Mahogany Culture’s exhibition is a digital art space founded by Zoe Osborne. The first online exhibition is meant to be a conversation with creatives in Barbados, the Caribbean and the Diaspora, through a new lens identifying what a “contemporary culture” looks like. Take a look at the installation views and go for a virtual video tour here.
