Installative paintings and performances playing with archipelagos’ global intimacies, involving personal reconciliations with forms of death and destruction that are inextricable from island living. These include mental health crises, spiritual inheritances, gun violence and natural disasters.

The Maria works are collaborations between Felisha Carenage, Luiza Furtado and Anne Meerpohl. The aqueous Maria is a changeable figure who serves as the artistic alter ego of the three painters. In this way, they deal with care-work, sexual capital and memory.
