Index
Carlos Garrido Castellano is a lecturer at the Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies Department at Cork University in Cork, Ireland and a researcher at the University Lisbon in Portugal.
"This book is not only valuable for breaking ground as a scholarly
approach to Caribbean contemporary art and art curation as a whole,
but for doing so in a much needed radical way, confronting
prevailing stereotypes about the region and its cultures. Its
discourse assumes the implicated complexities instead of reducing
them. This is probably due to a manifold approach based both on
thorough research and on the author's own direct, committed
involvement with the diverse artistic practices in the islands, and
with socially engaged art in particular."— Gerardo Mosquer, Founder
of the Havana Biennale, Independent art critic, historian and
curator
"Reading this book immediately impressed upon me new ways of
interpreting Caribbean art and art practices. Garrido Castellano
has not created a framework for prescriptive viewing but challenges
us to find different spaces of enunciation that our artists allow
us to enter through their imaginative freedoms."— Patricia
Mohammed, author of Imaging the Caribbean: Culture and Visual
Translation
