This symposium — moderated by Mark Nash and Allison Thompson — examines «the intersection
of the artistic, theoretical, literary, and cultural dimensions» in the work
of Frank Bowling, the Guyanese - born, London - based artist whose work is «deeply connected to, and
inflected by Édouard Glissant's notion
of a «Caribbean Discourse» — the
idea that the entire critical literature and
art created within the historical complex
of the Black Atlantic is an ongoing process
of philosophical reflection.»
