Balance

Balance
Post-Dorian Bahamas is struggling to find balance after homes, property, family archives and lives were uprooted, lost and displaced. Originally conceived as part of the “Refuge” Open Call for works, Eleutheran artist Edrin Symonette gives us an intimate setting to consider the role of citizenship in preserving dignity and humanity after disaster. Given recent deportations of Haitian and Haitian-Bahamian survivors from their longstanding communities in Abaco in particular and the displacement of many of those survivors to Eleuthera, Symonette wants us to consider the importance (or lack thereof) of nationality in a time of climate crisis.
