In Focus : Patchwork of identity in the creations of Raneece Buddan

Candice Zogo Mvoa
30 January 2022

Raneece Buddan is a Jamaican artist, based in Alberta since 2015. In her work, she explores cultural identity, based on her own experiences: of Afro and Indo-Caribbean descent, she works with the fusion of these cultures and shares the difficulties she has encountered around her hair and skin tone from childhood to adulthood.

She translates all of this into the materiality of her work, replacing her skin tone with fabrics meant to represent each culture and the use of synthetic hair. Her process is based on the exploration of materials and the search for figures in matter, wood grains and clay mounds.

“Our story is our own and the world has yet to experience our art in any other medium than our music. In the art scene, there are stories that are constantly being told, which leaves room for new experiences and perspectives. There are dynamic cultures on each island that have in common that they were built through colonization and the mixing of people of different races and ethnicities. When you are in the same room, no matter what country, you always feel like family, as one because of your shared experiences and, many times, a shared upbringing. That’s a story worth telling and hearing.”

    I agree with the artist Reneecee’s statement of our shared identities, existing within The Caribbean and Latin America. As an artist, it is a bit sad that regionally- stationed artists and other visual creative lack adequate exposure, and many are starving. Let’s be more truly inclusive. One love.
