Karib adopts the perspective of the Kalinagos, the original inhabitants of the Caribbean—the people the colonists found there upon their arrival and whom they called “savages.” The artist explores the process of dehumanizing the “other,” a way of denying their humanity to justify their enslavement and domination.
