Sunday Scene with Sarah Edo
Sun May 14 2023
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
We invite you for an engaging Sunday Scene art talk with a curator and researcher Sarah Edo, who will share her take on Anique Jordan's work, presented as part of in parallel group exhibition at The Power Plant.
In her works that explore Black portraiture, Anique Jordan revels in the possibilities of hauntology, a theory referring to past cultural elements that linger in the present like a ghost. Jordan creates what she calls “impossible images,” which combine the foundations of traditional Trinidadian carnival and hauntology. In doing so, she disturbs the straightening of time and its progressive understanding.
