In September 2021, Fragments of Epic Memory, an exhibition tracing the post-emancipation to contemporary history of the Caribbean, debuted at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The show then travelled to the Portland Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Art and has now arrived at the Columbus Museum of Art for its final act.
The CMA edition features over 100 images from AGO’s Montgomery Collection of Caribbean photographs dating to the early 19th century, alongside the work of contemporary Caribbean and Caribbean diasporic artists. It is also billed as one of the CMA’s most extensive presentations of video and time-based works, such as Ebony Patterson’s multi-channel video installation …three kings weep…, 2018.
