Sitting with the Dead: “Medium,” a show of Bahamian Religion and Spirituality
By Dr Ian Bethell Bennett.

The following is the first in a two-part series of long-form Q+As that seeks to expand upon both projects. We connect with Joiri Minaya, a Dominican-American multi-disciplinary artist whose work deals with identity, otherness, self-consciousness and displacement.
