A to Z of Caribbean Art

A to Z of Caribbean Art is a joyous celebration of the lives and works of many of the most outstanding, prolific, groundbreaking, critical, fascinating, and controversial artists of the Caribbean.

Thanks to the abécédaire format of this book, a multiplicity of artists have ended up in lively dialogue here. A-Z connects people separated by geography, language, and time: 120 years of movements, moments, schools, and sociopolitical contexts; countries as far apart as Bermuda in the north to Guyana in the south; and the French, Dutch, English, and Spanish Caribbean.

Each artist is represented by a page that shows a definitive work, biographical details, and a short write-up about their oeuvre. These artists were selected based on a number of factors, including critical discourse around their work, inclusion in a significant publication, work written about in regional or international trade magazine, and participation in a curated exhibition at a major institution, or at a regional or international biennial. In addition to my role as co-editor on this project, I’m happy to have written entries on the following artists: A k u z u r u, Dudley Charles, Jeannette Ehlers, Embah, Abigail Hadeed, O’Neil Lawrence, Kishan Munroe, Nikolai M. Noel, Steve Ouditt, Anna Serrao, Roberta Stoddart, John Stollmeyer, and Llewellyn Xavier.
