Now in its third year, FUZE has grown to exhibit a diverse range of artistic disciplines from nations throughout the Caribbean. Dedicated to celebrating emerging and established artists, this year’s edition will feature a stunning showcase from over 120 artists and galleries representing 21 countries. With a particular emphasis on Caribbean artists pushing the boundaries of their respective mediums and challenging conventional narratives, FUZE creates an environment for seasoned collectors and art enthusiasts to discover new talent, engage with distinguished artists, and more.
This year’s featured artists include Malene Barnett, an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and founder of the Black Artists + Designers Guide; Lavar Munroe, a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow recognized for his powerful interdisciplinary narratives; Deborah Jack, a visionary professor whose work explores climate justice and cultural memory; and Janine Antoni, a boundary-pushing artist whose works are featured in institutions like the Museum of Modern Art. Also exhibiting is Justin Dingwall, the 2024 SCOPE Miami x FUZE Residency Prize Winner, a South African photographer whose striking work deeply aligns with Afro-Caribbean identity and beauty ideals.
