They articulate various aspects of the two scholars\u2019 thoughts on race, diaspora, colonialization, creolization, language, and territory, particularly with regards to Miami\u2019s position in a world that never stops turning.<\/p>\n<p>Although coming from different places and parts of the world, the artists in this exhibition share this foundational space that simultaneously separates and connects them. Echoing the literary, anthropological, and philosophical work of Cabrera and Glissant, their art interrogates how borders shape identities and negotiate imaginary spaces. Their inquiries resonate across mediums and genres, and attempt to answer urgent questions that concern us all today. In addition to a selection of archival materials related to Cabrera and Glissant, <em>Where the Oceans Meet<\/em> includes works by Navild Acosta and Fannie Sosa, Etel Adnan, Carlos Alfonzo, Kader Attia, Belkis Ay\u00f3n, Yto Barrada, Daniel Boyd, Tania Bruguera, Sebasti\u00e1n Calfuqueo Aliste, Agust\u00edn C\u00e1rdenas, Maya Deren, Manthia Diawara, Melvin Edwards, Juan Francisco Elso, \u00d6yvind Fahlstr\u00f6m, Simone Fattal, Theaster Gates, Andrea Geyer, Sylvie Glissant, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Koo Jeong A, Wifredo Lam, Glenn Ligon, Lani Maestro, Roberto Matta, Julie Mehretu, Ana Mendieta, The Otolith Group, Amelia Pelaez, Andr\u00e9 Pierre, Walid Raad, Raqs Media Collective, Anri Sala, Antonio Segu\u00ed, Elena Tejada-Herrera, Pierre Verger, Jack Whitten, and Andros Zins-Browne.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Asad Raza, Gabriela Rangel, and Rina Carvajal.
