In partnership with the TOUT-MONDE Art FOUNDATION and Winthrop King Institute, the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts is thrilled to announce HOMO SARGASSUM. In this exhibition, twenty-five Caribbean artists consider the human-induced adverse environmental effects of sargassum in Florida and the Caribbean, where sargassum takes on metaphoric roles to address the social and historical atrocities of the Middle Passage. As guests drift through the exhibition, the work invites them to imagine a new human-nature symbiosis that transcends the existing barriers between humans and the environment. 

Artists include Minia Biabiany, Camille Chedda, Ronald Cyrille, Nicolas Derné, Morel Doucet, Edouard Duval-Carrié, Felder + Felder, Billy Gérard Frank, Guy Gabon, Gwladys Gambie, Sheldon Green, Annabel Guérédrat, Jordan Harrison, Nadia Huggins, Dominique Hunter, Deborah Jack, Mirtho Linguet, Louisa Marajo, Medhi Michalon, Joiri Minaya, Ricardo Ozier-Lafontaine, María Isabel Rueda, Oneika Russell, Henri Tauliaut, and Caecilia Tripp.
