FORGOTTEN LANDS has emerged as a leading force in contemporary Caribbean art, serving as a vital platform that amplifies voices across the diaspora and launches the careers of emerging artists. Our mission centers on illuminating and archiving the often-overlooked narratives of the Caribbean while weaving together the region's rich historical tapestry.
Founded in 2017, founders Cory Torres Bishop and Don Brodie initially conceived FORGOTTEN LANDS as a benefit exhibition in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Volume 05 examinesthe colonial origins that are still at work within and around the Caribbean today. How might today’s coloniality of power present itself in your region and how do you address this in your practice?  While we delve into this theme, it’s imperative to also consider the context of these matrixed layers of identity and the reality of our own displacement in the current post-globalized world.
