A multipronged analysis of the Dominican American artists cartographic palimpsests In her monumental paintings and installations, the Dominican American artist Firelei Bez (born 1981) creates images bursting with symbols from folktales, colonial occupation, legendary creatures and revolutions. She paints images on top of maps, book pages and found ephemera that combine abstraction and figuration, personal perspectives with grand historical narratives and Caribbean mythology with science fiction. This colorful publication serves as an introduction to Bezs work. The artist discusses how she interrogates powerful concepts such as truth and history throughout her practice. Special attention is paid to her palimpsests, paintings on top of colonial maps or construction plans for colonial architecture, both of which represent the establishments notion of objectivity. Inspired by Bezs works, poet Warsan Shire and author Katrine Rasmussen Kielsen contribute texts considering the legacy of colonialism.
