The 2013 Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts announces plans for PIRACY

REDUX: Re-examining the Myth of the Buccaneer, a project featuring art, video,

dance and music from local and international talent, in Kiley Gardens in Downtown

Tampa. Presented by The Raymond James Gasparilla Festival of the Arts and curated

by Tempus Projects and Hampton Arts Management, the exhibition explores the myth

of the pirate as it relates to Tampa’s Gasparilla celebrations; specifically, the

juxtaposition of the true image of the buccaneer as it conflicts with the

representation engendered by the wealthy Caucasian males who began the tradition

more than 50 years ago. Artists from diverse cultural backgrounds explore this image

through a variety of mediums, including video, sculpture and installation.

Furthermore, they re-contextualize the image of the pirate and offer their

interpretations of the mythology of piracy.
