October Gallery presents 'Caliban', the second solo exhibition by Puerto Rican artist Rafael Trelles. In this powerful new series, Trelles transforms one of Shakespeare's most contested characters into a potent symbol of Indigenous resistance to colonial domination.
'Caliban' connects the colonial history of the Caribbean with contemporary questions of identity, migration, racism and cultural displacement, offering a poetic meditation on land, memory and the right to define one's own story.
Known for his dreamlike, magico-mythical paintings, Trelles creates richly layered worlds in which light, shadow, flora and fauna converge. At the centre of this exhibition is Caliban, the original inhabitant of the island in Shakespeare's The Tempest, whose land and freedom are seized by the exiled Duke Prospero. Trelles radically reverses Shakespeare's perspective, presenting Caliban not as a 'savage' subject to be controlled, but as a figure of dignity, resilience and agency.
