Placeholder text, standing in for this exhibition’s own description. “We are our own discoverers, staking claim to territory,” wrote the late Patricia Glinton-Meicholas in her poem “Staking Claim to Our Souls”, from her collection “Chasing Light”. This excerpt from the poem is both an invocation and a challenge, positioning four explorers as adventurers entrusted with a fearless mission: to investigate the undercurrents of community, culture, and identity.

Melissa Alcena

Melissa Alcena is a Bahamian portrait and documentary photographer based in Nassau, The Bahamas. Alcena’s practice is the lens through which she reintroduces herself to the Bahamian landscape. Through this exploration and reintroduction, she documents people in situ, expanding the visual tropes often exported from the Caribbean. Stylistically, she grounds the image in chiaroscuro while balancing the natural colors of the terrain. Often in conversation with her subjects, Alcena’s photographs are a testament to kinship and an ode to the landscape.
