Lavar Munroe: Son of the Soil Catalogue

This fully illustrated catalogue accompanies Lavar Munroe’s ten-year survey exhibition at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. Featuring essays by curators and critics, as well as an interview with the artist, the publication offers critical perspectives on Munroe’s practice and its place within contemporary art discourse.

Contributors situate Munroe’s work within broader conversations about the African diaspora, postcolonial identity, and the complexities of contemporary Bahamian experience, while providing insight into his use of materials, mythology, and ritual as tools for cultural excavation and remembering.

With full-colour reproductions of works spanning 2008–2018, the catalogue serves as a comprehensive document of this pivotal exhibition and an essential resource for understanding one of The Bahamas’ most significant contemporary artists.
