2nd International Artists Biennale in St. Maarten

April 16-23, 2008
Diaspora Vibe’s 2nd Annual International Artists Biennial is an cultural exchange, in which artists explore the concept of the “ Cultural Diaspora – border communities ” intellectually and creatively through workshops, chat sessions, studio visits, and cross cultural dialogue centering around Caribbean identity. It will serve as a forum for artist speaking with artists about issues confronting their development now and in the future. This year the Bienniale will take place in St. Maarten. In 2006, the inaugural Bienniale was conducted in Nassau, the Bahamas.

For those seeking to add culture to their Valentine's Day celebration, check out the opening of Dance das cores na Nacao Zumbi (Dance of Colors in the Zumbi Nation) opening at Diaspora Vibe Gallery in Miami's Design District on the evening of February 14th.  This series of paintings by Brazilian artist Werllayne Nunes depicts a vibrant and dynamic celebration of color, migration, and the legacy of African ancestry.  However, this work is not really just a comment on the lifestyle of the Zumbi Nation: actually, it's about us!
