About Crafted Kinship: Inside the Creative Practices of Contemporary Black Caribbean Makers

Through powerful interviews with more than 60 artists and designers of Caribbean heritage, each accompanied by gorgeous photographs, Crafted Kinship takes readers on a unique journey through the world of Black Caribbean creativity. Each crafts a kinship with the land, the people, the culture. An art that explores and reflects deeply on themes like African origins, ancestors, Black womanhood and manhood, identity, joy, memory, and the complicated and painful history of migration and diaspora. An art that is more often than not multidisciplinary, created by makers who eschew traditional labels by reshaping the boundaries around art and design.
