Initially conceived as a benefit exhibition in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria, FORGOTTEN LANDS has evolved into a vital and transformative platform in the contemporary Caribbean art scene. As a non-profit organization FORGOTTEN LANDS supports emerging Caribbean artists and communities, collaborating through print, exhibitions, community events, films and beyond.

inside this issue:

Volume 7 is inspired by cultural theorists Sylvia Wynter and June Jordan in the search to expand the concept of “architecture” beyond its conventional meaning. Poetics of Architecture wrestles with the meaning of home and ancestral memory, studies living spiritual mementos and celebrates the attempted recreation of beloved spaces and the people who animate them. Design and diaspora are explored through aeroponics, textile and fibre works, visual art, the phenomenology and community intelligence of Black english, ceremony mapping, (decayed) archives, interviews, essays, poetry, and more.
