Artist in Residence: Jemini Baptist

 Tuesday 24 March at 6-8 pm  |  Granderson Lab

On Tuesday 24 March, 6-8 pm, meet and greet with Alice Yard artist resident, Jemini Baptiste (Canada/T&T). Join us at Granderson Lab for a short presentation of her ongoing video and collage work.

Jemini Baptiste is a multidisciplinary artist that depicts the process of destruction, transformation and healing. Her work explores the split of human from nature as we, the people, alongside land are stretched, strained and mutilated during the journey into ‘the future’. Each work is meant to encounter a specific emotional story in this cyclical action that questions the environment and circumstances one is forced to live in within the ‘modern’ Western world. She directly critiques the fragmented mental and emotional state that is required by tyrannized citizens to create the ‘advanced’ societies that the prospect of an idealized future relies on.

“I am not just interested in the historical healing of Trinidad, but what the notion of modernity means in different diasporic nations and how it stresses and strains its citizens out of mental peace.” 

All are invited. #actionindeyard

Action(ing) Otherwise is part of Alice Yard’s ongoing collaboration with Sustaining the Otherwise, a research and artistic project about restitution, reparation and transformation, initiated by Amal Alhaag & Selene Wendt. For this iteration of our collaboration Waldane Walker was invited for a one-month residency at Alice Yard, where he collaborated with Robert Young to participate in Vulgar Fraction’s TantiBlak Mas 2026.
