Joiri Minaya is a Dominican-United Statesian artist whose work destabilizes historic and contemporary representations of an imagined tropical identity. Bringing together new and existing work, this exhibition explores the ways Minaya uses the medium of textiles to question the imperial and transnational construction of a global tropical identity and landscape. The exhibition considers the production and reproduction of stereotypical images, as well as the potential for reclaiming Afro-Indigenous narratives of resistance within both political and visual, colonial and imperialist regimes, with a particular spotlight on to the role of botanicals. In new work for the exhibition, Minaya draws from local histories and connections between the Pacific and Caribbean in the fabrication of a ‘tropical international’ aesthetic. Developed in conversation with the Henry’s double-height gallery, the exhibition amplifies the dynamic processes of both performing and subverting imposed ideas of tropicality, and the potential of regenerative practices rooted in Afro-Indigenous plant knowledge.
