A partir de un diálogo con categorías del pensamiento afro-diásporico, este ensayo considera algunos proyectos visuales de Liliana Angulo (1974), María Méndez (1990), Astrid González Quintero (1990) y Lyann Quartas (1990), y explora los modos de ser y hacer que activan sus universos poéticos.

Una narrativa que oculta más de lo que presenta, y que de este modo relata historias que son un détour, una huida: conceptos propuestos por Glissant para entender la experiencia negra en el universo de la plantación. Con esta estética ambigua, Cumbe construye un contradiscurso que confronta las narrativas fundacionales sobre la plantación de azúcar y la nación establecidas en Brasil por obras como Casa grande y senzala (1933) del sociólogo pernambucano Gilberto Freyre.

ABSTRACT
Bittersweet Poetics asks how a multimedia group of works of art about the sugar plantation —ranging from graphic novels and installation art made out of sugar to photographs—reimagine and rewrite national discourses about the plantation system in Brazil and the Caribbean.
Bittersweet Poetics shows that these contemporary works of art are sites of cultural production. They reflect a dialogue with black intellectual traditions as represented by the ideas of Martinican philosopher Édouard Glissant, and new historiographies of the plantation system such as the work of Brazilian historian Flávio dos Santos Gómes on maroon (slave fugitives) communities. Likewise, they are created against the backdrop of black political movements in Brazil and the Caribbean. Bittersweet Poetics claims that through the conjunction of aesthetics and politics, contemporary artists challenge canonical, elite and romantic narratives about the sugar plantation and highlight the persistence of plantation violence.
The project contributes to scholarly work and discussions on plantation legacies, and, by focusing on Brazilian and Caribbean contemporary arts, offers a transnational and hemispheric perspective.
