Lavar Munroe, MFA '13, debuts new work at Fuze Caribbean Art Fair

Lavar Munroe, MFA ’13, shared a new work, “Coming Home,” at the Fuze Caribbean Art Fair last month in his native Bahamas. Munroe said that the work draws on the Gullah Geechee tradition of covering domestic walls with newspaper, a practice associated with decoration, protection, and the belief that it could ward off unwanted spirits. “Coming Home,” also features sculptural cardboard horses and three paintings from Munroe’s 2017 “Gun Dogs” series, exhibited for the first time outside of London.
