Uncomfortable journeys through the work and ideas of Christopher Cozier, a leading contemporary artist in the Caribbean. The video presents Cozier's witty and incisive drawings, installations and videos in the context of post-independence Trinidad with its oil-rich economy, complicated ethnic politics, and vibrant cultural forms. Treated in this video are the failure of McDonald's to take root (while other fast-food chains proliferate); an art market that validates only pretty pictures of flowers and beaches, while the country is obsessed with kidnappings and murders; and the systemic difficulties of a Third World artist circulating internationally. It illuminates the relationship between the local and the global.
