SixAhWi
Karen Richards, Georgia Fullerton, Merlyn Laveau-Regi, Barrington Robinson, Leyton Franklin and Ato Seitu, started a collective in 1993. They are located in Toronto.
This collective stands out. They are looking forward, they have plans for the future. SAW are planning exhibitions for 2012! these folks don't sleep. SAW are centered in the Caribbean diaspora, their Art takes on the socio-political without letting go of the aesthetic. although there is a tendency for a similarity of work style, but this could be due to the articulated, focused objective.
