Double Dutch: Curating Relation Across the Caribbean is a sustained curatorial programme initiated in 2015 at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, fostering intentional intra-Caribbean exchange between artists, institutions, and contexts separated by colonial borders and linguistic divisions. Resisting reductive regional identity, it models the Caribbean as a space of multiplicity and relation. Now in its tenth edition, it stands as a vital form of Caribbean cultural infrastructure built on care, continuity, and courage.
Many thanks to Jodi Minnis-Rolle for the invitation to reflect on the legacy of Double Dutch and its relational role across the Caribbean. This essay will be featured in the upcoming publication from the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, documenting the last ten iterations of the programme.
