The Container Project: What’s in Your Container?
November 20, 2025 – April 17, 2026
DVCAI at Barry University
We invite you to experience The Container Project, a curatorial initiative exploring the personal and collective histories of containment, memory, and resilience within Caribbean diasporic communities.
Curated by Rosie Gordon-Wallace and Breeana Thorne, this exhibition asks: What’s in Your Container? Through the lens of the shipping container—a vessel of movement, migration, and memory—19 artists transform grief, care, and cultural legacy into acts of preservation and renewal.
