Caribbean Solidarities Syllabus

This evolving syllabus was created during my participation in the Bandung Residency stewarded by the Asian American Arts Alliance and the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art from 2025-2025 during which each resident was tasked with creating a community activation that would build solidarity between NYC’s Black and Asian communities. The project I pursued revolved around learning from our past to further build a solidarity across the Caribbean diaspora in NYC, which spans Black, Asian, and Latine community members. I conducted research (through a gender justice lens) on a revolutionary period of time in Guyana’s post-independence history during which cross-racial socialist political parties & organizations took root and galvanized many, ushering in a new political consciousness that replaced ethnic politics with revolutionary class solidarity. This research informed a day of healing arts I organized for the Caribbean diaspora in NYC on July 19, 2025. I do not believe in gate-keeping. Enjoy the resources!
