Dust Specks on the Sea: Contemporary Sculpture from the French Caribbean & Haiti features work from more than 20 artists from Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Haiti, and is on exhibit now at the San Francisco Art Institute and Hunter East Harlem Gallery, featured in the Walter and McBean Galleries.
The exhibit features a series of sculptures, which speak to a variety of positioning regarding postcolonialism in these regions and interact with one another. The name of the exhibition, “Dust Specks on the Sea,” derives from a 1964 quote from by President Charles de Gaulle, when he saw to an aerial view of the French Caribbean islands from an airplane and called it a mystery.
