Annalee Davis (Barbados, 1963) explores the intersection of history and biography in discussions of ‘post-plantation economies’ with cultural activism in the arts sector. Davis’ works explore Barbados’ transformation from a once biodiverse landscape to sugar plantations, and more recently a tourism-dependent island - both arguably sectors of enclosure and exclusion. In the exhibition, ’In the Sugar Gardens´, AWL gallery spaces are conceived as a former home. Each of the areas unravels the interconnected complexities of Annalee Davis’ practice, weaving together the experience of her land of origin and its people in contemporaneity, while digging through the layers of dependencies, trauma, and regeneration that the land holds or encompasses.
