FOCUS ON THE MIAMI CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTS LANDSCAPE
The Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, through its Global Caribbean V exhibition, forged a new framework for understanding the momentous changes that have occurred in Miami’s cultural life. This iteration of the Global Caribbean program was curated by researcher Miguel Rojas Sotelo, Special Events Coordinator & NC Latin American Film Festival Director at the Center for Latin American Caribbean Studies at Duke University. Coordination support was provided by Jorge Luis Gutierrez, a seasoned international visual arts manager and curator, and Interim Director of Triennial Miami of contemporary art. The exhibition was guided by the vision of Edouard Duval Carrié, an internationally renowned artist living and working in Little Haiti in the heart of Miami, alongside Mireille Chancy- Gonzalez a Miami cultural leader and an essential organizer of the HCAA.
The exhibition presented a wide range of artists with different concerns and modes of contemporary artistic expression, using both traditional and contemporary media. A critical space was created here for contemporary Caribbean Miami artists presenting their work while fostering and developing critical
dialogues and opportunities for crucial points of exchange through panel discussions, conferences and education events.
Global Caribbean V became an important exhibition experience which brought together the visual discourses occurring currently in Miami concerning the Caribbean.
