Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art examines artistic
production in Cuba, Trinidad, Jamaica, and Panama, where large
immigrant populations and political, economic, and socio-cultural
conditions enabled the development of rich art practices in the
Chinese diasporic community. The volume touches on the dynamic
interconnections between the Chinese diasporic art communities and
intercontinental Caribbean art movements bringing into focus the
intimate relationships between the artists and those around them,
including those who influenced their work, from peers to mentors
and family. Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art ultimately
explores how global migrations and the legacies of cultural,
political, and economic power have shaped Chinese Caribbean art
practices in the Caribbean and its diaspora. This catalog
accompanies the exhibition Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean
Art, presented in two parts: History and Art of the Chinese
Caribbean Diaspora at the California African American Museum and
Contemporary Chinese Caribbean Art at the Chinese American Museum.
The exhibition is part of the Getty's initiative Pacific Standard
Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin
American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Presenting a
wealth of rarely seen artworks, archival materials, and
scholarship, the exhibitions and catalog shift the frame of
critical discourse on Chinese Caribbean art history and visual
cultures. Circles and Circuits: Chinese Caribbean Art offers a
foundational introduction into Chinese Caribbean art and its global
context. History and Art of the Chinese Caribbean Diaspora will be
on display at the California African American Museum from September
15, 2017 through February 25, 2018. Contemporary Chinese Caribbean
Art will be on display at the Chinese American Museum in Los
Angeles from September 15, 2017 through March 11, 2018.
