In April of this year, Robert & Christopher Publishers launched See Mere Here: A Survey of Contemporary Self-Portraits from the Caribbean, the follow-up publication to their book on contemporary Caribbean photography, Pictures from Paradise.

With the "selfie" becoming an important medium of expression, See Me Here is a timely publication focusing as it does on self-portraiture throughout the region. It looks at artists who often use their physical selves as the inspiration for and an expression of their work.  Edited by Melanie Archer and Mariel Brown, See Me Here features a critical essay by Marsha Pearce, and more than 380 images from 25 artists ranging from drawing and painting to photography, sculpture, installation and performance. Eleven of these artists – Akuzuru, Ashraph, Susan Dayal, Michelle Isava, Jaime Lee Loy, Che Lovelace, Joshua Lue Chee Kong, Steve Ouditt, Irénée Shaw, Roberta Stoddart and Dave Williams – are from or are based in Trinidad and Tobago. The book’s other artists including James Cooper, John Cox, Renee Cox, Anna Ruth Henriques, Nadia Huggins and Olivia McGilchrist are either based in the Caribbean or have ties to the region.
