The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago will run "Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s—Today," organized by Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator Carla Acevedo-Yates, on Nov. 19, 2022-April 23, 2023.
According to a press release, "This major exhibition is a innovate rethinking of 'Caribbean art,' focusing on art in the Caribbean diaspora and featuring an intergenerational group of 37 artists who live and work across the Americas and Europe. Challenging conventional ideas about the region, Forecast Form reveals the Caribbean as a place defined not by geography, language, or ethnicity, but by constant exchange, displacement and movement."
The exhibition uses the 1990s as a cultural backdrop. This decade had a major effect on art from the Caribbean and, in the cultural sector, gave rise to a Pan-Caribbean art exhibition model that attempted to represent the region's complex, colonial histories through art.
Some of the exhibition's 37 artists include Candida Alvarez, Didier William, Firelei Baez, Alvaro Barrios, Lorraine O'Grady, Ebony Patterson, Christopher Cozier, Freddy Rodriguez, Frank Bowling, Sandra Brewster, Daniel Lind-Ramos, Suchitra Mattai, Peter Doig, Jeannette Ehlers and Cosmo Whyte.
