Therese Hadchity, Lost in translation: Reflections on contemporary Barbadian art and the migration of criticality 

Lost in translation: Reflections on contemporary Barbadian art and the migration of criticality For the past decade, the discourse on visual art in the Anglophone Caribbean has predominantly been informed by a position which seeks to avoid the ‘commodification’ or ‘politicization’ of meaning by departing from the notion of ‘locality’. It refuses ‘the Caribbean’ as an interpretive lens and focuses instead on the fluidity of the diasporic experience, on hybridity, liminality and perpetually deferred meaning.
