Cannonball Artist-in-Residence Christopher Cozier will speak about the potential free/play spaces that Caribbean artists are constantly imagining. As the established idea of the Caribbean—as a viable fiction; as a site of exchanges—is an old, owned product traded between various beneficiaries that predominantly seek to control and exclude, Caribbean artists generate defiant spaces that fall between categorizations and established properties. Resisting the on-going contest a new “critical space” emerges in-between the social engines of power. Caribbean artists have made the production of these “in-between territories”.
Cozier (Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago) is an artist, writer, and curator. He lives and works in Trinidad, and is the recipient of a Prince Claus Award for 2013 and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Academy of The University of Trinidad & Tobago (2006-10).
