The Sea Is History

The Sea Is History

Presented by Flint Institute of Arts at Flint Institute of Arts

The Sea is History, made in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, is a free adaptation of the poem of the same name by Derek Walcott, a Saint Lucian poet. This film is a critique of the monumentalization of European colonial history, reading the past as something intimately entangled within the present—as a living thing made up of the living and the dead. The footage is from Santo Domingo, the first capital of the New World located in the Dominican Republic, and of Lago Enriquillo, a hyper-salinated lake, once part of the Caribbean sea, that is flooding the border of Haiti due to the drastic rise in sea temperature currently affecting the global ocean deeply.
