• Amanda Coulson

  Ep.237 Amanda Coulson has worked for three decades as a scholar, critic, curator and cultural producer, having collaborated with artists and institutions, private and corporate colleagues, in the US, Europe, and various sites in the Caribbean. A dual-national (Bahamas/US), she grew up between London, Nassau, and New York, where she studied for her Master’s Degree at the Institute of Fine Arts (NYU) and started her career at the Old Master dealers, Wildenstein & Sons, going on to work in various art galleries in London, Paris and Milan. Developing as a writer, Coulson spent 2 years as the international Editor of tema celeste, an Italian bi-lingual contemporary art magazine, before consolidating her critical practice writing for a variety of publications (Frieze, Modern Painters, ARTNews, among others) and providing critical texts for monographic gallery and museum shows. Coulson also worked as a freelance curator in Germany, organizing several exhibitions in Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Leipzig and Vienna (Austria), with special attention to Bahamian artists. Noting a lack of platforms for galleries representing emerging art, in 2005 she co-founded the VOLTA art fairs, which take place annually in New York and Basel, Switzerland. In 2011, she was invited home to The Bahamas to be Executive Director at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), where her focus was on increasing global awareness of the contemporary Caribbean art scene and on expanding the capacity and reach of the NAGB through a rigorous combination of capital works, collaborative projects and the building of strong inter-island, regional and international networks. She served on the Davidoff Art Initiative (now Caribbean Art Initiative) Board from 2012-2018, and on the Board of the Museums Association of the Caribbean (MAC) until she stepped down from the NAGB in 2021, after a decade at the helm. She is the founding partner at TERN, a new Nassau-based gallery operated by three Bahamian women whose aim is to support Bahamian and Caribbean artists in telling their own stories the global stage.

• Diana Sinclair

  Ep.234 In a wide-ranging practice that encompasses photography, sculpture and painting, Diana Sinclair (b.2004) probes the material, spiritual and social resonance of water. As a former competitive swimmer, Sinclair experienced the way that pools can become fraught with racial tension; Researching global communities of black surfers, she was inspired to travel to Costa Rica, Santa Cruz and Senegal to take part in the sport that originated in Ghana; and advised by academics Kevin Dawson and Kathie Foley-Meyer, she grasped the way water can preserve legacies, hold the DNA of souls left scattered in the middle passage. Sinclair is a self-taught artist who currently has a studio at the Silver Art Projects Residency in New York, NY. Her work has recently been included in exhibitions at All Street Gallery, New York, NY (2024) and Residency Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2024). Her work was chosen for a year-long public installation at the Rockefeller Center from 2023-2024. She was the recipient of the Gemma Projects Inaugural Curatorial Grant (2023) and the YoungArts Award Finalist in Photography (2021). Sinclair currently lives and works in Jersey City, NJ.

• Mario Joyce

  Ep.233 Mario Joyce’s work is rooted in his genealogical research of his family, going back to the 1600s. Incorporating imagery, memories, and stories from his familial research, Joyce incorporates vintage collage materials and soil from the farm he grew up on into his sumptuously textured paintings, weaving together a rich tapestry of his origins. A self-taught artist, Joyce mines his ancestral lineage as well as his personal experience growing up in rural Ohio as a Queer Black man. His work delves into how memories evolve over time and across generations, transforming into intricate capsules of meaning that convey messages of identity, belonging, and place. Mario Joyce lives and works in Los Angeles. He has participated in several residencies including Sointula House Residency, Sointula, BC (2024); Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME (2023); Pratt Forward, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY (2022); La Brea Studio Residency, Los Angeles, CA (2021). His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, CA (2024); Sakhile&Me, Frankfurt, Germany (2023); UTA Art Space, Atlanta, CA (2022). He has been included in numerous group exhibitions at MUZEO Museum and Cultural Center, Anaheim, CA (2024); F2T Gallery, Milan, Italy (2023); New York Culture Club, New York, NY (2022); Over the Influence, Los Angeles, CA (2022), among others. His work is included in public collections including the Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, SC and the North Dakota Museum of Art, Grand Forks, ND.
