“Invisible Heritage: Transfer 2017”

The Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts cordially invites the public to "Invisible Heritage: Transfer 2017," a visual arts exhibition curated by Monica Marin featuring recent work by Virgin Islands artists who are actively engaged in a conversation about the islands' colonial history, including the last 100 years as a US colony as well as the legacy of previous centuries. Themes of resistance, migration, identity, erasure, and visibility—as it relates to the structural history of colonialism and the ways in which it is manifested today—are among some of the topics that inform their work. This large-scale, multimedia exhibition will include works by artists La Vaughn Belle (STX), David Berg (STX), Janet Cook-Rutnik (STJ), Edgar Endress (VA formerly STJ), Jon Euwema (STT), Gerville Larsen (STX), Lori Lee (FL formerly STJ), Ellington Robinson (STT/DC), and Niarus Walker (STX). The group show, Invisible Heritage: Transfer 2017 will open at Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts in Frederiksted on Friday, March 24, from 6 - 8:30 PM. A panel discussion composed of VI artists and scholars will take place on Saturday, March 25, from 10 AM to 12 Noon. This exhibition is scheduled to travel to the VI Cultural Embassy in Copenhagen, DK in June, 2017.
