This is the first monograph on the procession and installation
practice of Trinidadian-born, Japan based artist Marlon Griffith.
With essays by Emelie Chhangur, Chanzo Greenidge, Gabriel Levine,
and Claire Tancons, Marlon Griffith: Symbols of Endurance explores
Griffith's unique contribution to contemporary art through a
detailed analysis of the artist's formative engagement with
vernacular tradition, popular and festive forms of civic
celebration, and performative forms of colonial cultural resistance
in the Americas.Symbols of Endurance follows Griffith's artistic
trajectory from his early career as a designer, or `Masman', for
Carnivals in Trinidad and London and considers these origins in
relation to his later largescale public processions created and
staged in-situ across the globe for contemporary art audiences.This
publication is a major contribution for anyone engaged in
participatory practices of collective and creative resistance,
performance as mode of public address and intercultural exchange,
and alternative forms of exhibition making in the civic
sphere.Published in partnership with Art Gallery of York
University.
