Help Construct an Artist Residency in Trinidad & Tobago

Kearra Amaya Gopee is an anti-disciplinary visual artist from Carapichaima, Kairi (the larger of the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago). Using video, sculpture, sound, writing, and other media, they identify both violence and time as primary conditions that undergird the anti-Black world in which they work, one they are intent on resisting through collective interventions.

In the spirit of maroonage, Kearra is developing a small place, an artist residency in Trinidad & Tobago named after Jamaica Kincaid’s seminal book. After successfully fundraising to purchase land for the project, they are now raising funds to begin the design and construction phase.
