Every Thursday from July 3, 2014 through July 31, 2014
This July, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will present At the Crossroads: Critical Film and Video from the Caribbean, a selection of videos and films that challenge conventional notions of the region through images and stories inspired by the cultural, social, and political complexities of the Caribbean. With works produced by Caribbean and international artists, this program conceptually bridges films from the 1960s to the 1980s with contemporary video art production. In an attempt to map contrasting subjectivities, At the Crossroads shows multiple realities of the “Caribbean experience” to deal with issues such as representation, migration, diaspora, plantation life, and collective histories and memories, including exceptional works from Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Panama, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.
