Crafted Kinship: Celebrating Contemporary Black Caribbean Makers

Malene Barnett’s latest book, “Crafted Kinship: Inside the Creative Practices of Contemporary Black Caribbean Makers,” is a vibrant celebration of over 60 artists, designers, and craftspeople whose work is deeply influenced by their Caribbean heritage. Published by Artisan, this compelling tome delves into the diverse practices shaped by the diaspora, shedding light on the intricate connections to land, memory, colonial histories, and African origins that inform each artist’s creative journey.

One of the highlights of the book is the insightful interviews with the featured creatives, offering a glimpse into their unique perspectives, processes, and the communities that inspire them. Artists like Firelei Báez share how their work aims to center the Caribbean within a global context, capturing the essence of traditions like Carnival and personal memories of their homeland. Morel Doucet, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of foregrounding his Haitian identity in his delicate ceramic sculptures, reclaiming his narrative and cultural heritage.

Several artists previously featured on Colossal have contributed their stories to the book, including April Bey, whose work explores the intersection of opulence and visions of a thriving future. Sonya Clark challenges the Eurocentric distinction between art and craft, while Malene Barnett herself shares insights into her meticulous ceramic practices and creative process.

“Crafted Kinship” is a comprehensive exploration of the diverse range of artworks created by Black Caribbean makers, highlighting the interconnectedness between their individual practices and ancestral ties. Through stunning visuals and engaging narratives, the book offers a deep dive into the rich tapestry of creativity and cultural heritage that defines the contemporary art scene in the Caribbean.
