I never had to translate Jean-Michel, perhaps because I too came from a Caribbean-American family of a certain class.” What does it mean to sense connection with an artwork? For O’Grady, Basquiat’s work resonated because he was speaking from a shared heritage, which she described as "kids no longer Caribbean and not yet American." O’Grady also witnessed how Basquiat was framed in a Eurocentric context as he rose to fame in a predominantly white art world. Reframing the artist’s work through his Caribbean and Afro-descendent heritage, and roots in Puerto Rico and Haiti, reveals how Basquiat was also making art in dialogue with Yoruba religion, Mandé culture, the history of slavery in the Americas, and postcolonial perspectives. #ReflectionsontheCaribbean⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Brooklyn Museum, Installation view, Basquiat, March 11, 2005 through June 5, 2005.
