2021 | Liminal Spaces: Migration and Women of the Guyanese Diaspora

  • Art Museum of the Americas (map)

AMA proudly presents a book launch and talk for Liminal Spaces: Migration and Women of the Guyanese Diaspora, with editor Grace Aneiza Ali, writer Natalie Hopkinson, and artist Suchitra Mattai, as part of our public programming for the current exhibition No Ocean Between Us: Art of Asian Diasporas in Latin America and the Caribbean. The exhibition offers a glimpse of modern and contemporary art through an exploration of flows of migration from Japan, China, India, and Indonesia and the artistic impact in its host countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, of which Guyana is a striking example. Artists in the exhibition, such as Suchitra Mattai, reveal the multiple layers of complex and evolving cultural exchanges that have shaped the modern multiethnic societies of today.
