Mark your calendars for a special exhibition that Readytex Art Gallery (RAG) is organizing in association with DVCAI (Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator) from Miami, Florida, as part of their third International Cultural Exchange Project to Suriname. During the exchange program that will run from March 30, until April 8, 2023, artists from both countries, with diverse backgrounds and working in various media, will converge to explore the concept of ‘cultural Diaspora’, intellectually and creatively.
As a highlight of the exchange, the exhibition titled CULTURAL CURRENTS: Miami meets Paramaribo, opening on Thursday April 6, 2023, at 7:30 pm, will feature work by the 12 visiting Miami artists and 18 Surinamese artists affiliated with Readytex Art Gallery.
On Saturday, April 1, 2023, at 11:00 am until 12:00 pm, DVCAI Founder|Curator, Rosie Gordon-Wallace will give a presentation at Readytex Art Gallery, during which she will speak about her journey in the Arts and chronicle the facts that support the difficulty in defining Caribbean Art. She will also delve deeper into conversations about exhibitions and structures of support for under-recognized artists who operate outside of university art programs, commercial galleries, or museums.
RAG and DVCAI look forward to welcoming you at the opening of the exhibition, and hope you will also join the presentation by DVCAI Founder | Curator Rosie Gordon-Wallace on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at 11:00 am in Readytex Art Gallery. CULTURAL CURRENTS: Miami meets Paramaribo, will remain on view until Saturday, April 29, 2023.
