Book Launch “After Caliban: Caribbean Art in a Global Imaginary” by Erica Moiah James

Join Erica Moiah James at ICA Miami for a conversation about her new book After Caliban: Caribbean Art in a Global Imaginary, published in 2025 with Duke University Press. Dr. Moiah James discusses her book and answers questions from the audience. In After Caliban, Erica Moiah James examines the rise of global Caribbean artists in the 1990s and their production of a decolonized art history for the Caribbean. She draws on Aimé Césaire’s rewriting of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which Caliban becomes the sole author of his own story, dissolving his fixed position as colonized in relation to Prospero as colonizer. Erica Moiah James is in conversation with Richard Powell (Duke University) and Patricia Saunders (University of Miami). Erica Moiah James is an art historian, curator and Associate Professor at The University of Miami. Before arriving in Miami, she was the founding director and chief curator of the National Gallery of The Bahamas and an Assistant Professor of Art History and African American Studies at Yale University. Her research centers on indigenous, modern, and contemporary art of the Caribbean, Americas, and the African Diaspora. James has been awarded several grants and fellowships in support of her work including the Warhol Foundation/Creative Time Art Writing Prize, and grants from the Terra and Mellon Foundations for The Geoffrey Holder Project. Most recently, she curated the exhibitions Didier William: nou kite tout sa dèyè; Nari Ward: Home of the Brave and LaVaughn Belle: Of Being, Myth and Memory.
