The fourth edition of Transoceanic Visual Exchange (TVE) held between November 2021 and February 2022 is a collaboration between The Fresh Milk Art Platform (Barbados) and TEOR/ética (Costa Rica). For this edition of TVE, a selection of recent video artworks produced both in the Central American region and in the insular Caribbean region were brought together through an open call and community-led curatorial model, and presented to the public through a virtual exhibition.

For the closing event of TVE 4, we invite some of the artists participating in this virtual exhibition from across both regions to be in conversation with one another, with the aim of putting their works in dialogue and deepening the understanding of themes and relationships that connect recent audiovisual practices of contemporary artists from Central America and the Caribbean.

ABOUT TVE 4:

TVE is a collection of recent films and videos from artists practicing in the Caribbean and Central America. It aims to negotiate the in-between space of our cultural communities outside of traditional geo-political zones of encounter and trade, intending to build relations and open up greater pathways of visibility, discourse and knowledge production between the regional art spaces and their communities.

With the ongoing pandemic and the Central American and Caribbean regions continually needing to navigate with resilience through climate, economic and citizenship challenges, TVE 4 provides a beacon of optimistic possibilities. These artists, divided geographically but interconnected by similar negotiations of space and identity, engage in conversation with each other in the digital realm of the TVE virtual exhibition, and the invitation to participate in these ever-morphing organisms of discussions is extended to all of those who visit our site.
