Art Exhibition on St. Croix Explores Animals and the Colonial Imagination | St. John Source

Cows, mongooses, deer, donkeys and horses are just some of the animals brought to the Virgin Islands through the process of colonization. "How and why were they brought here?" wonders St. John-based artist Janet Cook-Rutnik. "What do they mean in our society today, and how are they intrinsically bound to anxieties about race and migration?"
