Abstract

Based on her pictorial production, this essay considers how June Beer’s translocal and transnational experience reconfigures and expands the Black Altantic into the littoral Caribbean, while inserting a Kriol female perspective into the Pacific of Nicaragua. With a focus on landscapes and portraits, these readings center inter-species and other than human representations from a Black-femicentrist perspective. With an optic that disavows Western humanism Beer’s gaze destabilizes and questions the nation as configuration and anthropocentric individualism to propose ontologies that trace a horizontal relationship between human and more than human beings. Her vision provides us with speculative possibilities of care and of belonging towards the present and towardsother possible futures.
