Part 2 - Chalana Brown joins Neville James in the studio to preview her first solo exhibition, “Claiming Spaces: The African Story of the Sugar Mill,” which will be unveiled at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts on Emancipation Day. Chalana speaks to the evolution of this project, from its inception as a COVID-19 coping mechanism to the full realization of its power. She and Neville discuss the process of tracing one’s identity and reconnecting with one’s roots, and the value of creating an authentic narrative, independent of what has been documented in European literature.
