This special issue of Caribbean Review of Gender Studies focuses on visual modes as a critical means by which gender is lived, negotiated, organized, and resisted. It is particularly interested in constructions of everyday ways of seeing and unseeing. Attention to visual culture is not only about what is made visible to us. It also entails “the unseen, the unseeable, and the overlooked” (Mitchell, 2002: p170). The issue, therefore, welcomes contributions that problematise sight. What is out of sight, and hiding in plain sight in our constructions and deconstructions of gender, sex, and sexualities in the Caribbean? What is seen? What can’t be seen? What is unseen in our personal experiences and individual, interior histories? What is un/seeable in our beliefs about ourselves as woman, man, non-binary and transgender folx?
