Diasporas are the Landscape Closing Events

Closing Conversation with Hernease Davis and Samantha Box, VSW theater, 4:30-6pm

Final Viewing and Closing Party with DJ Spin Doctor KO aka Katrina Oversby, 6pm – 9pm

Join us as we celebrate the closing of our fall exhibition, Diasporas are the Landscape. Curator Hernease Davis will have a culminating conversation with exhibiting artist Samantha Box about her featured works, Caribbean Dreams, which are part of her ongoing series addressing the Caribbean diasporic experience. Samantha Box is a Jamaican-born, Bronx-based artist who uses photography, sound and installation to chart the fluctuating and tenuous physical and psychosocial spaces of queerness and diaspora. She holds an MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies from the International Center of Photography-Bard College. Her work has been recently showcased in solo exhibitions at Light Work, the Des Moines Art Center, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (DC), and in group exhibitions at Le Rencontres d’Arles, the Bronx Museum of Arts, and Baxter Street CCNY. 

Following their conversation, join us for a closing party with DJ Spin Doctor KO (aka Katrina Oversby). DJ KO will provide music requested by the exhibiting artists and dance beats from the Caribbean/Spanish-speaking/African diasporas.
