women artists building bridges between cultures

Kingsley mobilises microbiology as a framework for reflection. She reminds us that all life is interconnected, that human beings are not separate from nature but fully part of it. Through her texts and images, she proposes a shift in perspective: to think of oneself not as an isolated individual, but as the result of a long history of the living, shaped through transformation and adaptation.

This approach also makes it possible to rethink questions of identity. Rather than treating them as fixed or closed, the artist presents them as processes in constant transformation. Identities thus become dynamic constructions, shaped by multiple influences.

Laura Arminda Kingsley works primarily with painting, digital images, and sculpture. Her creations immerse the viewer in dense worlds where historical, mythological, and scientific references intermingle. She engages both Afrocaribbean inheritances and the pre-Columbian cultures of the Caribbean, which have often remained little known or marginalised within dominant narratives.

Her paintings evoke inhabited landscapes, caves, and subterranean worlds. These spaces are not merely physical sites; they point toward cosmologies, toward ways of understanding the origins of life. In certain Caribbean traditions, such as those of the Taíno peoples, caves are perceived as places of origin, almost as wombs or matrices. They embody a deep connection between human beings, the earth, and the elements. The myth the artist draws upon is known as “Cacibajagua.”

The places of refuge where the Taíno resisted European colonization later became sanctuaries for enslaved Africans escaping plantations, who joined the Taíno in allied revolts. This shared resistance contributed to the emergence of new creole cultures. Kingsley brings these stories into the contemporary moment, where rest and resistance once again become essential to our survival.
