Since its inception in 1996, Diaspora Vibe has functioned as a laboratory to promote, nurture and cultivate the vision and diverse talents of emerging artists from the Caribbean Diaspora and other artists of color from immigrant experiences. This project was conceptualized as an extension of DVCAI programming goals to provide artists with a contemporary visual sensibility and a safe space to explore and experiment with new forms and themes without having to deny or downplay strong connections with their countries of origin and their immigrant experience. https://vimeo.com/user18959222/videos
