MASK ON

Painting
This exhibition is concerned with understanding how the masks present themselves as representations of one's connection to their displacement. To some, they can be stunning works of art, to others, masks are representations of terror; this is again synonymous with how we view the Caribbean in a post-colonial framework. Through her work, Pixel Heller dives deep into what it means to be a Caribbean descendant, living as a member of a black diaspora and finding a way to connect to home.Curated by Ashley WaithePhotographed by Jamie Rivera

Cross Disciplinary Art: Life Studies

“I use art as a way of reconnecting with my Caribbean identity, this has led me to explore themes of carnival masquerade, cultural fluidity, Black identity and the preservation of cultures.”
