Artist in Residence 2023

Ruben Cabenda

Suriname

Amount awarded:$5,000

Ruben Cabenda is an artist who mainly focuses on slavery and identity. In his animation, he uses a language that abstractly and figuratively depicts the history of slavery. The moving images in his work show how the past is still interwoven with the present, and decolonization is still an ongoing process. Through his animation, you see how descendants of the slaves, their identities, are snatched and deformed, bearing the traces of colonialism. The process of decolonizing our mindset is on the move to perceive things from a different perspective.

Marinna Shareef

Trinidad and Tobago

Amount awarded:$5,000

Marinna Shareef pivoted from exploring bipolarity in virtual worlds to creating emotionally resonant work through photography and video. Inspired by resurfaced memories of her father and mentored by Christopher Cozier, Shareef developed her project with influences from Versia Harris and 'Inside Number 9.' Collaborating with North Eleven, she refined her projections for the Granderson Lab presentation. The residency concluded with exhibitions in Puerto Rico and Trinidad, where Shareef showcased 'The Things I Cannot Say,' a digital media exhibition that explores enmeshment in Indo-Caribbean families through interactive storytelling.
