ITE
Community Mural Project
I was so excited to hear that my proposal for the mural call for Grand Bahama was chosen! This piece is entitled "Heal". Over the past 30 years, Grand Bahamians can testify to the many challenges of natural disasters and economic downturns. This testament has given us the title of ‘resilient’. However, under that layer of honor, we collectively are traumatized and undergoing various phases of healing. With this in mind, I assimilate the process of recovery and rebirth to the application of bush medicine.Generations of Bahamians have used bush medicine for healing and planted it for future use.
So come paint with me, its FREE. Supplies are included.
Project Origin
As an accompaniment to this exhibition, the NAGB will be unveiling a mural in Grand Bahama as a part of the wider ITE programming. To this end, the NAGB invites residents and/or native Grand Bahamian artists to submit proposals to create a mural that comments on the indomitable Bahamian spirit through the lens of climate crisis. The mural created should allow onlookers to reflect on the catalysts and outcomes of existing in our status as a small island developing state in the context of global climate crisis. It should speak to healing, survival, humanity, and rebirth. Ideally, it will also spark discussions on the importance of preserving and sharing our history, culture and traditions with future generations as an invaluable educational tool.
