C& América Latina Magazine #2
<p>The aim of C& América Latina (C&AL) is to reflect the artistic production and debates around Latin America and the Caribbean in relation to Africa. This means that we are constantly considering the many different and complex artistic perspectives.</p> <p>This also includes thinking about different ideas of what “identities” can mean. The term ”identities” is complex and may seem overused in the context of the “global art world”. Nevertheless, it seems important to make a point of trying to at least grasp the diverse meanings of what Latin America and the Caribbean can be in relation to Africa. Why is Jean-Michel Basquiat defined as an African American artist even though his father was born in Haiti? “The future is Latinx” is a phrase that has been floating around for a while now, but people are still wondering what this word means and who it includes and excludes.</p> <p>This second issue of C&AL reflects on little discussed biographies and practices such as the Afro-Mexican modern painter José Antonio Gómez Rosas. It also features projects from Martinican and Brazilian perspectives and talks to Barbadian artist Alberta Whittle.</p>
