Curated by Sheau Yun Lim, “The Plantation Plot” featured the work of 28 artists and collectives exploring the history of the plantation society and its aftermath—capital mythmaking, profit maximization, extractive labor, and organized violence. The word “plot” carries dual meaning, referencing both narrative and land. In Jamaican theorist Sylvia Wynter’s 1971 essay “Novel and History, Plot and Plantation,” she articulated the connection between the plantation system-society and the novel form, both sired by capitalist forces. Taking the contested “plot” as a point of departure, the exhibition spotlighted the ways in which the plantation legacy still endures today.
