Artist Sheena Rose curated by award-winning filmmaker Mariel Brown

“Sheena’s work speaks with an honesty and humour that is rare in the Caribbean contemporary art scene. She articulates, through a clear and often playful graphic style, a vision of her home that manages to be both utterly local and universal.”
