Conversations on Pride

May 28, 2026 - June 20, 2026

Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

CMCArts is pleased to be collaborating with Sonia Nahar Deane of the Cane Roots Art Gallery. This community collaboration is rooted in celebrating the right for our LGBTQ+ family and friends to be themselves and to live their lives as they choose.

For many years, CMCArts has been a proud ally and collaborator with the June PRIDE events and the STX Pride organization as well as hosting annual Pride exhibitions. The Pride exhibition opens the Dialogues on Freedom Series showcasing artists from the VI LGBTQ+ community, Puerto Rico and Cuba. We are honored to support everyone in their creative endeavors. Our work is rooted in freedom of expression empowering the voices of our entire community.

About the artist

Gena Seroogy

Gena Seroogy 

Artist Bio Born and raised in St. Croix, Gena Seroogy (she/they) is a trauma-informed caregiver and arts enthusiast. Gena is active in the local dance and theater community on stage and behind the scenes with the Caribbean Dance School and the Caribbean Community Theater. After graduating from The Good Hope School, she attended college and worked in nonprofit management in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Feeling homesick and stressed out during the lockdown in 2020, Gena began experimenting making collages using vintage photos and recycled images of St. Croix. In 2022, they moved back home and expanded their art practice to use their own original photography. Their work plays with changing perspective and themes of cliché and commodified depictions of the Caribbean through an anticolonial lens. This is their first exhibit.
