FORGOTTEN LANDS, Volume 08: Crossing the Horizon

FORGOTTEN LANDS has emerged as a leading force in contemporary Caribbean art, serving as a vital platform that amplifies voices across the diaspora and launches the careers of emerging artists. FORGOTTEN LANDS's mission centers on illuminating and archiving the often-overlooked narratives of the Caribbean while weaving together the region's rich historical tapestry.

In Volume 08, artists confront historical erasure through a visual and conceptual language that emphasizes imagination, creativity, and aspiration that centers the Caribbean as a realm of possibility.

This volume brings together contemporary artists from the Caribbean who engage the horizon not as a backdrop or compositional device, but as a threshold into other ways of knowing and being. Here, the horizon functions as a speculative zone: a site where memory drifts, where ancestral knowledge surfaces, and where alternative futures emerge. In this space that collides reality and fantasy, Caribbean artists articulate new ways of seeing that honor the past, confront the present, and gesture toward possibilities that remain just beyond the line where sea meets sky.Cover: Bony Ramirez
