We are proud to present the publication for our exhibition “Imagining an Archipelago: Art from Cuba, Guam, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Their Diasporas,” on view at the Colby Museum through June 6, 2027.

The interpretive framework of an archipelago—an expanse of water containing a chain of islands—emphasizes 40 artists’ different yet related strategies toward the critique, defiance and navigation of conditions brought on by continental empires.

Essays, poetry, artworks and artist discussions in English, Spanish, Filipino and CHamoru provide a platform for solidarity, healing and celebration at the intersections of cultural and political self-determination, indigeneity, migration, climate crisis and resilience.

The publication is edited by Linde Family Foundation Curator of Academic Engagement Jessamine Batario and features writing from Lian Ladia, Alexandra T. Méndez García, Adriana Zavala, and Linde Family Foundation Educator for College Audience Phoebe Zipper.
