Through images and interviews with 65 artists of Caribbean heritage, Crafted Kinship takes readers on a journey through the world of Black Caribbean art. Caribbean makers share the stories of their artmaking process and how their countries of origin, the "land," influences and informs how and what they create. Author Malene Barnett is a multidisciplinary artist and textile designer of the Caribbean diaspora, with roots in Saint Vincent and Jamaica, and the founder of the Black Artists and Designers Guild, a global platform and community of independent Black artists, makers, and designers. Barnett's artistic practice is inseparable from her work as a community builder. Included are artists from over 20 Caribbean islands working across all genres, ceramics to wood to interior design and filmmaking. Some live in the Black Diaspora, and some have moved back or live in their country of origins. Basil Watson is a Jamaican figurative artist and sculptor known for his bronze figures that are exhibited outdoors all over the world; Shenequa Brooks is a multimedia artist who uses traditional craft of weaving, including with thread and hair, to tell heritage stories through her artwork; and Lisandro Suriel is a photographer and filmmaker from Saint Martin, living there now too, whose work centers on the exploration of Black imagination.
