Specialist in African Diasporic and Caribbean Art Histories Erica Moiah James talks with Port-au-Prince-born, Miami-based visual artist Adler Guerrier about the relationship his work has with the city he’s chosen to call home, as well as his latest public art installation, Claimed for Living, for Love and Trouble, currently installed in the Miami Design District.
Hartt’s ongoing inquiry into the ideological implications of the built environment engages a variety of media. Shot in both Athens and Detroit, the footage, set to a score by Sam Prekop, is montaged so that the locations become indiscernible and a hybrid city-state emerges.

Willie Birch is best known for his large-scale grisaille charcoal drawings that feature everyday scenes and settings in New Orleans. The works have an arresting graphic quality and capture the dynamism, tenderness, ritual, and quotidian aspects that define life in the city; each work revels in details while hinting at a larger cosmology.
In this drawing, abundant flora weaves through a chain-link fence. It is dark and densely rendered, and despite the tightly cropped framing of the image it is replete with symbolism and nuance, from the diamond pattern of the fence to the careful detailing of each plant species.

Humanity is present through the traces it has left behind, traces that could be those of a remote or vanished civilisation.

[The book] is sequenced with pictures I considered ‘archetypal’ to carry a collective iconic memory – such as the historical artefacts, photographed in a simple and direct way. Then I introduced mysterious places, plants or architectural structures to show a more subjective point of view. One of the main questions I had in mind while making this body of work was how might a subjective experience also speak of a collective one? This is partly why I photographed places in Brazil, as an homage to Claude Lévi- Strauss’s Tristes Tropiques.
