From the Green Family Art Foundation:
“Rupture & Connection brings together an intergenerational group of artists to examine the overlapping concerns of place, emigration, and legacy. With works drawn primarily from the Green Family Collection, the exhibition is inspired by the work of Martinique-born philosopher, poet, and writer Édouard Glissant. Articulating a system of relations that acknowledges the opacity of the individual and the multiplicity of identity, Glissant wrote of an “aesthetics of rupture and connection” uncircumscribed by geopolitical boundaries and filiation. He argues that identity is relational, ever in flux and unfixed.
