Untitled Art Fair - Booth SP14
Ocean Drive and 12th Street, Miami Beach
December 3rd - 8th, 2024
ATLANTIC ARTHOUSE is proud to present French-Caribbean designer duo dach&zephir for the first time in North America with a creole installation titled In Between Rèpriz and Konpozisyon: A Space for Caribbean Cultures and Communities, at UNTITLED Art Fair Miami, from December 3rd to December 8th, 2024. This immersive piece explores the layered histories, identities, and creativity of Caribbean culture through contemporary art and design, created during a residency at Fountainhead.
The installation draws on the concepts of rèpriz (reclaiming and remaking) and konpozisyon (recomposing and hybridizing), which reflect the adaptability inherent in Caribbean cultural practices. Inspired by Martinican philosopher Édouard Glissant’s creolization concept, In Between Rèpriz and Konpozisyon highlights the dynamic weave of entanglements arising from Native American, African, Asian, European, and Middle Eastern traditions. The result is a celebration of cultural hybridity and diversity that defines Caribbean experience.
Through visual collages, textiles, objects and symbolic materials like seeds and beads, dach&zephir create a metaphorical and physical space that bridges past and present. The installation challenges conventional narratives, transforming everyday objects and forms into artifacts that tell a story. By fostering a dialogue that spans East to West, the work celebrates the richness of Caribbean identity while inviting viewers to reimagine the region’s cultural landscape.
As part of Atlantic Arthouse’s curated 2024 program, dach&zephir are in residence at Fountainhead, Miami, throughout November, immersed in research and production. The residency culminated in an Open House on November 29th at Fountainhead, where visitors had the opportunity to engage with dach&zephir’s creative processes and explore their residency work.

VISUAL EPISTOLARY DIARIES
© Nathyfa Michel - Dans ma chair un pays, Régina, Guyane, 2023
In celebration of Caribbean women's voices and creative power in the context of the WOPHA Congress 2024, an exhibition will feature Caribbean women photographers, each inspired by literary works and poems by Caribbean female authors. The exhibition is anchored by a powerful quote from the renowned Guadeloupean author and Alternative Nobel Prize Recipient Maryse Condé, who wrote in her 1986 novel I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem, “They called me a witch, but in truth, I was simply a woman who knew her worth.”
The exhibition plays with the different interpretations and ideas of witchcraft as a metaphor for female strength, ancestral wisdom, and resilience, challenging long-held societal perceptions. Through a dynamic dialogue between image and text, the photographers reveal intimate thoughts and personal reflections, offering viewers a glimpse into the hidden facets of their lives that shape their creative processes. The exhibition not only highlights individual stories but also connects them to the collective memory and shared heritage of the Caribbean, prompting reflections on power, gender, and resistance in a postcolonial context.
Artists include: Meredith Andrews (Bermuda), Nadia Huggins (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines), Nathyfa Michel (French Guiana), Adeline Rapon (Martinique), ABWilson (Bermuda)
Co-curated by: Éline Gougues (La Station culturelle, Martinique) & Vanessa Selk (TOUT-MONDE Art FOUNDATION, USA)

‘THE OPEN BOAT’
Miami Art Week
December 7-10, 2023
Villa Paula, 5811 N Miami Ave, Little Haiti, Miami
This first iteration of ATLANTIC ARTHOUSE will feature artworks from partner galleries and artists from the Caribbean Mid-Atlantic, in a curated selling group show flowing through the historic rooms and lush garden of a Cuban architectural gem, Villa Paula, in the heart of Miami’s Little Haiti.
Echoing the unifying thought of the ‘THE OPEN BOAT’ by Martinican philosopher and poet Édouard Glissant, this show runs like a transatlantique journey, through the door of no return, which ends not in an abyss of totality; rather, this open sea beckons our freedom in our contemporary moment, invites us to be courageous, to express, to create. Because we can. Because we must.
The works featured in this curated fair exhibition from various partner galleries and artists will emphasize this understanding of the human condition.
A live program presented by TOUT-MONDE Art FOUNDATION will deepen our understanding for the region.
Partner galleries: Black Pony Gallery (Bermudas), Monnin Gallery (Haïti), ICE Gallery (Bahamas)
Independent Artists: Mirtho Linguet (French Guiana), Edouard Duval-Carrié (Haiti)
