THE STORY, IN BRIEF
In an ART AFRICA interview, Anina Major discusses translating Bahamian palm-plaiting traditions into ceramic sculpture for The Sacred Mangrove at Pérez Art Museum Miami. Drawing on skills inherited from her grandmother, the installation connects family memory, migration and Caribbean ecology. Major describes bottle trees as references to African-diaspora spiritual practices and questions the separation of craft from fine art. The interview considers how inherited techniques change across generations and places.
