This photo, taken in 1991 and gifted to us by the artist, Catherine Green, shows a young woman preparing for the West Indian American Day Parade. Here in the Education Division, we too have the Caribbean on our minds as we develop programming for the upcoming exhibition Impressionism and the Caribbean: Francisco Oller and His Transatlantic World. I just got a sneak peek at some of the exciting programs the educators are working on, and one of the themes they’re thinking about is the question of how one’s identity and art are affected by place. That question ties in beautifully to this photo, which depicts a celebration of arts and culture that may have originated elsewhere but have taken a strong root here in Brooklyn.Posted by Sam Kelly -- source link
