Miami-based artist Jamilah Sabur works across multiple mediums and disciplines. Sabur adapts the visual aspect and semiotic strategies associated with classic conceptual art practices to explore issues of transculturation and the postcolonial condition, moving freely between video installation, painting, sculpture, photo collage, and ritualistic performance. She frequently weaves highly personal narrative content into her work. For instance, motifs are drawn from her mother’s recollections of their ancestral home in the Blue Mountains outside of Kingston, Jamaica, come into play in several of her works.

Belkis Ayón specialized in collagraphy, a printmaking technique that involves collaging materials and objects onto a wooden or metal plate to create a variety of textures that are transferred onto the image. Her work revolves around Abakuá, an all-male Afro-Cuban religious association or fraternity known for its intricate mythology, which is passed on through secret rituals and a complex lexicon of distinctive symbols.

"Invisible Man: Stars and Stripes" is part of a series of life-sized graphite sculptures by British-Trinidadian artist Zak Ové. Began in 2016, the title of the series evokes Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel, Invisible Man—a pioneering reflection on racism in America told through the eyes of a Black man whose skin color has rendered him invisible in society.

Myrlande Constant is known for her intricate flags, which have every inch adorned with colorful and glittering beads and sequins. Her imagery combines Haitian Vodou myths centering on the life cycle with references to contemporary events including the 2010 earthquake, women’s roles, and social upheaval in general. She acquired her skill with beaded embroidery—a technique known as tambour—while she worked at a wedding dress factory with her mother.
