Since 2016, visual artist Charles Jean-Pierre and curator Adriel Luis have cultivated their friendship through collaborations for the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center’s series of Culture Labs. Pierre’s Black (w)Holes for CTRL+ALT: A Culture Lab on Imagined Futures in New York City (2016) and The Commissary / Ua Mau Ke Ea with Dr. Keanu Sai for ʻAe Kai: A Culture Lab on Convergence in Honolulu (2017) reflected on how Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands are interconnected through diaspora, colonization, artistic expression, and borders. In this virtual studio visit, Pierre and Luis reconnect to discuss how their creativity has been affected by recent civil unrest, quarantine, and shifted relationships with travel.
