Description

The Sea is History by Wendt Selene This book explores the complex history and identity of the Caribbean region. Drawing inspiration from the poetic works of Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, it delves into the themes of hybridity, Creole identity, and the intersection of art, literature, music, and language. Featuring work by contemporary artists addressing issues of migration and displacement, the book spans a timeframe that begins with the African slave trade and continues to the present day. The exhibition, which took place at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo, Norway, visualized these stories as an expansive sea, where currents move back and forth between countries and continents, through time and history. Through its essays and poems, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the Caribbean's rich cultural heritage and its ongoing relevance today.
