Description
Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art explores the artistic production in Cuba, Trinidad, Jamaica, and Panama, where large immigrant populations have shaped art practices in the Chinese diasporic community. This volume examines the dynamic interconnections between Chinese diasporic artists and intercontinental Caribbean art movements, highlighting the intimate relationships that influenced their work. The catalog accompanies an exhibition presented in two parts: History and Art of the Chinese Caribbean Diaspora at the California African American Museum and Contemporary Chinese Caribbean Art at the Chinese American Museum. It presents a wealth of rarely seen artworks, archival materials, and scholarship, shifting the frame of critical discourse on Chinese Caribbean art history and visual cultures. Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art offers a foundational introduction into Chinese Caribbean art and its global context, providing a unique perspective on the legacies of cultural, political, and economic power that have shaped this artistic practice.
