MOREL DOUCET

He employs ceramics, illustrations, and prints to examine the realities of climate-gentrification, migration, and displacement within the Black diaspora communities.

MARVIN FABIEN

PRIZM PERFORM

In 2017, Nyugen Smith(USA/Trinidad/Haiti) and Marvin Fabien (Dominica/Martinique) presented, Lest We Forget, a multi-sensory performance derived from their on-going dialog related to the impacts of hurricanes and climate change in the Caribbean and the most venerable parts of the United States. Marvin Fabien had a penchant for, through his hypnotic use of sound, conjuring the aesthetics of the popular music culture of the Caribbean whilst simultaneously rendering hair raising Digital Performances that address key issues affecting the Caribbean region. Fabien was easily becoming an indelible force in the continued development of contemporary practice in the Caribbean/Global South. May we continue to remember his work through our continued efforts to amplify Diasporic narratives and perspectives.

Christa David

Atlanta | United States

Christa David is a visual artist, writer, and researcher. Inspired by the artistic works of Romare Bearden, Wangechi Mutu, Alma Woodsey Thomas, and literary works of James Baldwin, Christa David fuses the mediums of painting, collage, and assemblage to create and recreate stories about home, belonging, faith, and identity. In September 2016, after years of “making art in the cracks” (nights and weekends) alongside her demanding work as a senior public health researcher New York City, Christa David leaped into making art full-time. Christa David is a proud two-time Columbia University Lion, holding Bachelor of Arts and Masters degrees from Columbia University. Her work is held in personal and public collections throughout the United
States including the prominent David C. Driskell Center and has been most recently exhibited at Longwood Gallery at Hostos College in Bronx, NY, and PRIZM Art Fair at Art Basel in Miami Beach. Christa David currently lives and works between New York City and Atlanta.

In my artwork, context, specifically story, is essential. Using materials sourced from historical archives, vintage, and contemporary magazines, and newspapers, I cut and compose mostly intimate-sized narrative collages that describe my thoughts about the stories I’ve heard and told about myself and others. My abstract paintings combine color and expressive brushwork work to communicate my feelings about these same stories. Each discipline allows me to tackle the same idea but from different starting points; my collages show me what I think and my paintings show me how I feel. Through my praxis, I am learning that feelings, circumstances, and histories – personal and collective, real or imagined – shape these stories. I am deeply
curious about the origins of these stories, the actors in these stories, and the circulation of power in these stories. I use my work to sort out my feelings and thoughts about the complex and enduring mark of structural racism in the United States and its impact on my life/body and the lives/bodies of those who look like me. Currently, my collage work focuses on the stories of Black and Brown people (myself included) existing in and outside of spaces (material and immaterial) – spaces created by others and spaces created by us. And my abstract mixed-media paintings communicate through color, raw, and irregular mark-making, symbology (real and imagined), and embellishments, what these spaces feel like. The resulting work ranges in scale from intimate (9×12 inches) to life-sized (60 x 96 inches).
