Caribbean: Art at the Crossroads of the World

Joscelyn’s work is discussed in the essay “Visual Caribbean: Images and Imaginaries“ by Yolanda Wood Pujols in Caribbean: Art at the Crossroads of the World, a handsome hard cover book edited by Deborah Cullen and Elvis Fuentes and published by El Museo del Barrio, New York, in association with Yale University Press, on the occasion of the exhibition Caribbean Crossroads of the World that is taking place at three museums in New York from 2012-2013. In this essay, Wood Pujols writes about the series of lithographs called Plantation Poker: The Merkin Stories (pp. 330-31, 333). She states, “The work goes beyond the historical parameters of its subject and encompasses contemporary conflicts. The textual and visual sources serve as the foundation of a work that is remarkable for its detail and the artist’s critical and artistic strategies.”
