About CCCADI:
The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), commonly known as the Caribbean Cultural Center, was conceived in 1976 by Dr. Marta Moreno Vega who had a vision to create an international organization to promote and link communities of African descendants wherever our communities are present. Dedicated to making visible the invisible history, culture and welfare of peoples in African descent, the Center is based in New York City but effectively works for the social, cultural and economic equity of African Diaspora communities around the world.
About the Curator:
Shantrelle P. Lewis is Brooklyn-based curator and a native of New Orleans who returned home in September 2007 to assist in its revitalization efforts after a 12-year stint on the east coast. For two years, she worked in the capacity of Executive Director and Curator of the McKenna Museum of African American Art. In October 2009, Ms. Lewis relocated to New York, and joined the staff of the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), where she was Director of Exhibitions and Programs for three years. Having received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in African American Studies from Howard and Temple Universities respectively, her curatorial work is grounded in a Black Studies theoretical-activist framework. Her extensive travels internationally have allowed Shantrelle to experience and witness the manifestation of the African Diasporan aesthetic firsthand. As a curator, Ms. Lewis uses exhibitions to respond critically to socio-political and cosmological phenomenon through an African-centered lens. In Fall 2011, Shantrelle was a curatorial resident at Open Ateliers Zuidoost in Amsterdam, NL. The recipient of a 2012-13 Andy Warhol Curatorial Fellowship, Ms. Lewis is currently engaged in research about the Dutch Caribbean Diaspora for a 2015 Exhibition at CCCADI’s soon-to-be renovated historic firehouse on 125th Street. Ms. Lewis has demonstrated a commitment to researching, documenting and preserving African Diasporan culture.
