Thank you for joining us at The Shed!
Thank you for gathering with us for Diasporic Dialogues, presented in conversation with The Shed's Open Call: Portals. It was a powerful and moving afternoon with artists Cyle Warner, Madjeen Isaac, and Chenée Daley, who shared reflections on memory, belonging, the boundless Caribbean imagination, and how artists are best supported by communities and institutions.
Moderated with such care by Rosed Serrano, the conversation also provided an early look into Volume 07: Poetics of Architecture and we can’t wait to share more in the months ahead!
