The Fresh Milk Art Platform (Barbados) and the Centre for Culture in Lublin (Poland), as part of Lublin’s bid for the European Capital of Culture 2029 title, welcomed open call submissions of recent film and video works – screenings, installations, new media, time-based media and expanded cinema – by contemporary artists. Selected works were included in the fifth edition of Transoceanic Visual Exchange (TVE).
TVE 5 is a series of programmes taking place this year between Barbados and Poland, with an accompanying online exhibition. All the submitted works had to be completed in the last five years and had to be made by artists practicing in the Caribbean, Poland, Ukraine, and their diasporas.
Working between the Caribbean, Poland and Ukraine, TVE 5 aims to negotiate the in-between space of our cultural communities outside of traditional geo-political zones of encounter and trade. TVE intends to build relations and open up greater pathways of visibility, discourse and knowledge production between the regional art spaces and their publics, including knowledge about the contemporary world in the context of decoloniality, eurocentrism, and human rights.
