This exhibition will explore Firelei Báezʼs
investigations on the visibility and the construction of
complex cultural identities within the Afro-Caribbean
Diaspora and how these notions are perceived in
todayʼs global world. Her large-scale and intricate
portraits of influential individuals and mythical
goddesses of Afro-Caribbean history create a
contemporary narrative of a womanʼs life, embracing
the past, and staking her place in a universal future.
This exhibition will also feature a new installation by
the artist to consider the scarring of colonization and
time on the landscape, in striking neon and opulent
color. Her goal is to immerse the viewer in a space of
melted time, to consider themes of interweaving
geography and individuality.
Báez is best known through her extraordinary
paintings of lush landscaped-figures, intricately
patterned tignons, and otherworldly bodies with
striking eyes. Here, she considers the reality of ones
current social and the historic
