Jonkunoo-A Dying Tradition - CVM TV A confluence of costume, dancing, theater and music- the traditions of Jonkunoo at Christmastime seem to be fading away from the culture.

I’m happy to be exhibiting work alongside these artists in “Re-shaping the Sugar” curated by Yohanna M. Roa at White Box. Join us for the opening this Thursday 2/16, 6-8pm.

Join us at WBX Thursday 2/16 6-8pm for the opening of an eye opener exhibition reconsidering what “Caribbean” means through the eyes and works of 7 amazing women artists. Re-Shaping the Sugar curated by
Yohanna M. Roa.

The first translation of the word Caribbean into a European language dates back to 1492, found in the journals of Christopher Columbus. From his gaze facing the incomprehension of a culture alien to his, having a completely different perspective of the world, Columbus mistakenly decided to name cannibals all inhabitants of the lands we now call The Lesser Antilles. The process of creating the Caribbean is confusing and contradictory and full of contrasts subject to the geopolitical changes that have occurred over the last 500 years. Within the framework of Black History Month, WhiteBox Presents "Re-shaping the Sugar", an exhibition that investigates the Afro-Latin roots present in the memory of ‘Black America’. The show includes the work of seven relevant Caribbean artists based in New York City, Juana Valdes, Coco Fusco, Alicia Grullon, Renluka Maharaj, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Joiri Minaya and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks. Their exhibited works challenge the historical, geographical, and political delimitations of what we call the "Caribbean".

I didn't win but I’m patting myself on the back for this one and saying in Jamaican patois… “a suh it go sometime, better da nutten“ (sp ) Translation: that’s how it goes sometimes, better than nothing”. In great company with .m.evans Jennif(f)er Tamayo and great to get some recognition. Hopefully next time! My proposed project, “JUNKANOOACOME: Red Set Girls at the Crosswalk with our Sisters and Brothers” in the performing arts category is currently on hold but hopefully will get some support in the form of another iteration soon 🤞🏽. Meantime I stay blessed and keep making it better. On the second place podium for now. (Thanks for posting that .m.evans ) 😂 . ❤️🎈💃🏽
