CONTAIN / RESIST transforms a life-sized shipping container into a vibrant site of printed resistance and memory. Rooted in Caribbean and Global South experiences, the work reclaims the language of logistics—cargo, crates, pallets—as a space for affirmation and collective voices. In the context of tightening U.S. immigration policies affecting TPS holders, asylum seekers, and parolees, the installation asks: What are we carrying? What refuses to be contained?

Presented as part of The Container Project, a DVCAI curatorial initiative at Barry University’s Monsignor William Barry Library, the exhibition runs November 20, 2025 – April 17, 2026. Curated by Rosie Gordon-Wallace and Breeana Thorne, the project invites audiences to consider the question: What’s in Your Container?
