Caribbean: Crossroads of the World  opens on June 12, 2012 and runs through January 6th 2013 at El Museo del Barrio in conjunction with the Queens Museum of Art and The Studio Museum in Harlem.  The exhibit will examine the visual arts and aesthetic development across the Caribbean, considering the histories of the Spanish, French, Dutch and English islands and their Diasporas. Crossroads is a groundbreaking exhibit, highlighting rarely-seen works in thematic sections ranging from the Haitian Revolution to the present. More than 500 works of art spanning four centuries illuminate changing aesthetics and ideologies and provoke meaningful conversations about topics ranging from commerce and cultural hybridity to politics and pop culture.

Oh man, I definitely need to check this out, and in particular compare and contrast with Infinite Island (which I loved, but with which, for the sake of seeing as much as possible, I selfishly hope there’s little overlap).
