By these Shores I was Born takes its title from the poem “South” by Barbadian poet Kamau Brathwaite. The poem’s narrative voice shifts from the Caribbean, to lands of the North, and back again. The exhibition brings together seven artists who have moved in and out of the Caribbean region. Each artist has claimed the “I” in the show’s title to reflect on their personal experiences and understanding of home.
