“Übersee: Cuba and The Bahamas: Contemporary Art from the Caribbean” features the work of 38 Bahamian and Cuban artists whose work continue to confront ideas around consumption, tourism, economies, utopia and complex identities connected to the landscape and bodies.

The Bahamas and Cuba share a common history of colonialism and slavery, and yet they are very different in tradition, form of government, ethnicity, language and religion. The exhibition speaks of complex identities from African, indigenous and European roots, as well as the ghosts of colonialism and life on an island.
