Screening and Conversation with Zion Estrada
About this Event
As a part of the programming for Under a Plantain Tree: Notes on Liberation, we're pleased to present an installation screening and a talkback with one of the exhibition's artists, Zion Estrada.
Check out the exhibition and meet the artist in this anticipated event!
About the exhibit: Beneath the broad, sheltering leaves of the plantain tree—a diasporic archive rooted across the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Black Atlantic—liberation is neither singular nor complete. It is iterative, fugitive, and unfinished. Juneteenth marks not a moment of arrival, but a delayed recognition: freedom announced after its supposed decree, conditions that remain beyond emancipation.
In this space, the works of Ronald “EFE” Ramirez, Jeffrey Merris, Zion Estrada, Laurena Finéus, and Luis Gutierrez gather as notes—partial, resonant, and ongoing. Under the plantain tree, we to sit with the incompleteness of emancipation—to understand freedom as something lived in the shadow of its delay, and still, insisted upon.
