Daisy Bousquet-Desrosiers, Program Director for the Lunder Institute for American Art, Colby College visits the PMA for a special noontime talk on Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago.

As an interdisciplinary art historian with a background in independent curatorial work, Desrosiers’ current research focuses on the cultural, post-colonial, and material implications of the use of sugar in contemporary art. From 2012 to 2017, Desrosiers was the director of Battat Contemporary (Montreal, Canada) where she oversaw the collection along with collaborations with living artists resulting in exhibitions, publications, residencies, and site-specific projects. In 2018 she was the inaugural recipient of the Nicholas Fox Weber curatorial fellowship, affiliated with the Glucksman Museum (Cork, Ireland) as well as a curatorial fellow-in-residence at Art in General (Brooklyn, NY).
