The Varietal Powers of One

Upcoming Exhibit: The Centre of the World Was the Beach by Racquel Rowe

Racquel Rowe

January 11 - March 8th

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 11th, 5-7pm

Drawing inspiration from Dionne Brand's A Map to the Door of No Return, The Centre of the World Was the Beach is a meditation on migration, memory, and identity. Anchored by themes of diasporic connection, domestic spaces, and culinary rituals, the exhibition explores how landscapes—both physical and interior—become sites of cultural continuity and transformation.
Through a series of video works, photographs, and intimate installations, the exhibition transforms the gallery into a living room, evoking the warmth and familiarity of shared histories. Each monitor plays a story, weaving together personal and collective narratives of the Caribbean diaspora, where migration reshapes domestic life, rituals anchor identity, and the beach becomes a symbolic threshold of loss and becoming.
This body of work reflects on the everyday as extraordinary—where food, family objects, and memory hold spaces of belonging, resistance, and renewal across generations.
