"Reclaimed: Indo-Caribbean HerStories" is a mixed-media ceramic exhibition by Toronto-based artist Heidi McKenzie that illuminates the power, courage and strength of Indo-Caribbean women, past and present. Through a feminist lens, the exhibition narrates the little-known histories of Indo-indentureship in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. Using photographic portraiture on ceramics, both archival and contemporary, the work draws in the visual narrative of the women’s indo-indentured jewelry as symbolic of strength, courage and resistance. It is an act of reclamation and decolonization.
