Description

Patchwork Essays & Interviews on Caribbean Visual Culture by Jacqueline Bishop explores key discussions on environmental sustainability and global justice specific to Caribbean concerns. The book delves into how Caribbean societies forge identity from diverse groups, highlighting the need to include vernacular needlework artists within the visual art tradition. Through essays and in-depth interviews, topics such as land and colonization, perceptions of the Caribbean, and open-ended art-making are examined. The book also investigates ecological concerns, sustainability, and the placement of women in the visual art ecology of the Caribbean, revealing contested areas around questions of race, color, and class. By shedding light on these issues, Bishop aims to insert vernacular needleworkers into the visual art scene in Jamaica and the larger Caribbean, providing a nuanced understanding of the region's complex cultural landscape.
