ARTIST PROFILE

"Suelyn Choo, Caribbean Artist:

A Conversation about Art and Identity"

Suelyn Choo is a Trinidadian-born, multi-disciplinary artist who is currently living and working in Jamaica. She describes herself as a Caribbean artist in particular, and uses her artistic practice to explore her own identity, or more precisely, her plethora of identities. She explores various mediums including painting, performance art, video art, photography, and costume. Most recently, her film "Pariah's Pearls", which is a blend of video and performance art, was screened at the Caribbean Tales International Film Festival, and she was awarded the New Local Space (NLS) Group Residency in Kingston, Jamaica. She is one of the artists represented in The Olympia Online Caribbean Art Fair.
