CHILL is a celebration of the faces and bodies of the Caribbean. We have carefully selected works from our collection of Afro-Caribbean works that celebrate the people of the region and bring to light the images of people and communities representing the complexity of Afro-Caribbean identity. 

These pieces cover a vast array of styles, from the hyper-realistic to the surreal from the regions of Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica. In the presentation of these diverse works, we reflect upon the reality that Afro-Caribbean identity is not monolithic, and the aesthetics of these regions cannot be contained in a single movement or style, rather are as varied and nuanced as the cultures that come together in the Caribbean. We take the opportunity to re-contextualize works from our collection of over 20 years in a way that is relevant to contemporary discourse on Afro-Caribbean identity and iconography through the face and the figure
