@kaninuu_ and @iris_qingzeng made Bruce’s day and this collaboration so much fun. Probably my favorite collaboration to date.

Thank you to @_simontatum again for helping with photos and bringing Bruce to the studio for this assignment.

BIRTH PAPERS has been quite the journey—but we’re not done yet.

As we head into the final weeks of the show, expect a few throwbacks, some conversations we’ve been meaning to have, and one final gathering in St. Thomas to bring it all home.

Visit BIRTH PAPERS at our latest and last location, @81cvi in St. Thomas, USVI through the end of the month.

BIRTH PAPERS
Curada por Azi Jones @lehweprojects

[...] "Ambas acepciones, proponen un marco desde el cual se problematizan los mecanismos mediante los cuales la legitimidad se construye y se sostiene. A la vez, pone en relieve las formas en que las personas caribeñas se autodefinen, así como la medida en que dicha identidad se inscribe en la materialidad de la vida cotidiana: en la frescura de las losas y las varillas, el calor del concreto expuesto al sol, en silenciosa autoridad de la porcelana que nos fue heredada.
Destacando el trabajo de artistas caribeños como Clayton Rhule, dach&zephir, Jasmine Thomas-Girvan, Simon Tatum, Shani Strand, Yiyo Tirado-Rivera, Kara Springer, y Zoé Pheron, entre otros, la exhibición destaca prácticas que tienen como punto de partida el uso de materiales encontrados, colectados y materiales de origen natural. Estas obras resisten las narrativas singulares de origen y, en cambio, reflejan una creatividad caribeña moldeada por la sintonía con el entorno y la multiplicidad cultural." [...] -Azi Jones, 2026.

LES ESPERAMOS.
