HOMO SARGASSUM

Based on an idea seeded by Louisa Marajo, this multidimensional and multi-year project co-written and co-conceived with Vanessa Selk, has been inviting over 30 Caribbean artists, scientists, scholars and bio-tech experts to reflect on the ecological, cultural and anthropological implications of the proliferation of the Sargassum seaweed on Caribbean coasts and populations in colonial/post-colonial contexts.
