The Barbados Arts Events page was created to promote the Visual Arts Events in Barbados and artists whether exhibiting here in island or overseas.
The focus is on the events for the fine arts, encompassing art, photography, sculpture and installations, gallery receptions, exhibitions, talks, interviews, workshops, publications, studios, residencies.
I will also post visual art collaborations with writers, theatre, dance, videos, music and creatives but it has to encompass the visual arts/artists to be posted on this page.
I started this page because I felt that the visual arts were not getting much needed exposure to expose the talent in Barbados and around the world. I wish I could encompass all the creative arts as there is so much happening on this tiny wonderful island of ours but I am a one woman band doing this free. Over the years this page has become a support for all creative events in Barbados and I was happy for this but realised that it was diluting the fine arts section which it is meant to focus on.
I need to bring the focus back in these group pages to the visual arts.
Thank you for understanding.

Annalee Davis In the Sugar Gardens / 08 May - 05 October, Girona, Spain
https://www.airaswangdelafee.com/exhibitions
AWL is pleased to announce ‘In the Sugar Gardens’, the gallery’s first exhibition of work by Annalee Davis on view in Girona from May 8. Featuring new sculptures and embroideries as well as historical works on paper, the exhibition is a survey of Davis’s trajectory curated by Sira Piza.
Annalee Davis (Barbados, 1963) explores the intersection of history and biography in discussions of ‘post-plantation economies’ with cultural activism in the arts sector. Davis’ works explore Barbados’ transformation from a once biodiverse landscape to sugar plantations, and more recently a tourism-dependent island - both arguably sectors of enclosure and exclusion. In the exhibition, ’In the Sugar Gardens´, AWL gallery spaces are conceived as a former home. Each of the areas unravels the interconnected complexities of Annalee Davis’ practice, weaving together the experience of her land of origin and its people in contemporaneity, while digging through the layers of dependencies, trauma, and regeneration that the land holds or encompasses.
Excerpt from curatorial text by
Sira Pizà
Annalee Davis has lived and worked as an artist and cultural activist at Walker’s Dairy in Barbados for the past twenty-three years. This site, a former sugar plantation acquired by her paternal greatgrandmother and later converted to a dairy farm, has been at the centre of her approach to the contradictory terrain of this small island nation. This particular space is a fragment, a sample of something much larger: in the biosphere’s specific history we find the material traces that unravel a weaving of geopolitics and identity-making, social and cultural structures that we are still trying to understand and reorganise today. Her approach to the present and future of the Caribbean is one of restoration: collecting the pieces and putting them back together in a new form, re-imagining an environment from the perspective of underrepresented voices to force a change in narrative. This idea of operating from a small place runs parallel to the notion of situated knowledge that she enforces: accepting that all knowledge is partial lets us allow other voices to a mainstream current that results in divergence, contradiction, and overall resistance.
When I started speaking to Annalee about finding larger stories, stories about societies, embedded in ethnobotanical knowledge, I looked at the context of the gallery and came across a study about a community from the High Pyrenees called the Trementinaires. Named after their most sought-after product, trementina or turpentine, this group of women from a secluded valley in the mountains of north Spain appeared as a perfect parallelism. In the early 19th century, influenced by the effects of industrialization, the Trementinaires would collect medicinal herbs from the valley, manufacture health-related products during the summer, and then walk trading routes in the fall and winter seasons, leaving their husbands at home with the children. In doing this, they were radically shifting the traditionally domestic sphere of feminine action towards public agency as a direct result of their expertise, which women in the public arena didn’t usually represent. In this example, the specific knowledge of the surrounding natural resources and their use for survival translated into a form of self-governance, self-care, and community building.
In the context of global British Imperialism, Barbados became the epicentre of the Plantationocene’s¹ workings. The monoculture of the sugar cane culminated over centuries of soil erosion and the near extinction of the island’s biodiversity. Marginal plots of land situated within plantations were given to the enslaved to grow food and medicines and maintain African traditions. Within the plantation, the British marked these least arable lands as rablands and made them available to the indentured and enslaved. These plots, although considered infertile, allowed for a variety of autochthonous and regional plants used for medicinal purposes to thrive, restoring at once the soil and the body. The plots, contrary to the logic of the plantation, were used as gardens, and the plants grown there were used as medicine for healing purposes, as contraceptive or abortive methods, or even as poison.
This ethnobotanical knowledge was passed down orally through generations, following the logic of traditional wisdom, while it left dormant seeds in the ground which would later grow again and take over more recently abandoned sugar cane fields. The plot, a small residue of freedom within the conditions of the plantation, becomes an emblem of resistance² and resilience that is characteristic of the Caribbean’s biological and human landscape. Annalee’s notion of the plot becoming a garden arises as a symbolic and physical gesture: that of the living apothecary, expressing a vocabulary intrinsically contradictory to colonial and imperialist language. Her daily ritual of walking the land at Walker’s, and the research of remnants in the soil, roots Davis’ practice in conversation with the tumultuous post-plantation ground, as well as its healing potential.
In the Sugar Gardens contains the inherent contradiction in these terms, the first representing expansive and parasitical colonisation of a landscape, the latter standing for restoration. It’s a walk through Annalee Davis’ decade-long trajectory, drawing a parallel between the spatial experience of the exhibition and her positionality at the intersection between the biographical, biological and sociopolitical. The architectural typology of the gallery as a former home hosts several stages of an inward and personal history, and its unfolding towards a shared History, entering the garden and going to the sunroom, through the kitchen, living, and reading room. ….continued
Each of the areas unravel the interconnected complexities of Annalee Davis’ practice, weaving together the experience of her land of origin and its people in contemporaneity, while digging through the layers of dependencies, trauma, and regeneration that the land itself encloses.
Experienced as a politicised domestic laboratory, In the Sugar Gardens expands on parasitic inheritance and the relationship between the violent stratification of the living world and a place’s socio-political classification. Annalee Davis sculpts ideas of an interior garden of contradictions, and how we might embody the landscape as more-than-human kin we live with and depend on, through the skins we inhabit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¹ Annalee Davis speaks of the term Plantationocene, used by Donna Haraway and Anna Tsing in “Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Chthulucene: Making Kin”, Environmental Humanities vol. 6, 2015, to refer to the devastating transformation of landscape or human tended farms into extractive plantations, which relied on exploitative, imported and enslaved labor.
² “But from early, the planters gave the slaves plots of land on which to grow food to feed themselves in order to maximize profits. We suggest that this plot system, was, like the novel form in literature terms, the focus of resistance to the market system and market values. This culture created traditional values – use values. This folk culture became a source of cultural guerilla resistance to the plantation system.” Wynter, Sylvia. “Novel and History, Plot and Plantation”. Savacou 5 (June 1971)
Airas Wang de Lafée
Artist Annalee Davis in Spain.
“This suite of embroidered panels acknowledges British sewing traditions inherited by Barbadian women over several centuries. Practiced across race and class, the needle and thread instilled notions of what it meant to be feminine.
Pray to Flowers disregards the restricted range of carefully taught stitches, colour combinations, and sanctioned subject matter. Rather, it presents a suite of embroidered, appliqued works interweaving crochet, applique, & embroidery to address more indelicate discourse such as the impact of mono-crop farming and the plantation on today’s climate emergency. An amalgamation of time-honoured stitches with fabricated ones, they intermingle 100-year-old cutwork embroidery with contemporary so-called ‘African’ print fabrics worn during Barbados’ Crop Over festival or on Africa Day. Merging pale pink crochet pieces and machine-made lace, this mash-up of fabrics, threads, and traditions acknowledges the creolization inherent in post-independent Barbados.
Instead of producing decorative works for the living room, once the prescribed domain of women, or adorning the surfaces of dressing tables, these tapestries link the plantation with the sixth extinction. Cyanotypes of local botanicals growing in my garden acknowledge flora native to this place rather than the bluebells found in embroidered tablecloths of my mother’s generation, fashioned on prescribed patterns they were encouraged to fabricate. Satin stitch emphasizes phrases, advocating for the worship of flowers, and the need to unlearn the plantation or defend nature, manifesting as slowly made protest placards provoking discussion about more urgent subject matter.
Collectively, the works recognize the inherent value in bio-diverse plots nurtured by enslaved Barbadian society, praised for their use value, although situated within the larger capitalist machinery of the plantation. In their making, these works appreciate the gathering of women who joined me in their slow construction, thread by thread, words by many words, and the inherent need to commemorate slow cultural work communally.”
Now Open: Annalee Davis (@annalee.devere) ‘In the Sugar Gardens’ curated by Sira Pizà (@sira_piza) at AWL Airas Wang de Lafée until 31 August 2024. Airas Wang de Lafée opening hours are Thursdays - Fridays 11:00-14:00 h / 17:00-20:00 h, Saturdays 11:00-14:00 h and by appointment.

MURAL BY IZEBO
LONG-TIME VISITOR SEEKS OUT BARBADOS
MURALS
Jenny Picower has been visiting Barbados for over 20 years and this July/August explored murals “off the tourist circuit”. She viewed murals in and around Bridgetown, Deacons, UWI, NCF, Holetown and Speightown depicting historical events, important figures, cultural heritage and others’ voice that bring awareness to social concerns, issues, and values.
Jenny said, “I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to see and learn about some of Barbados' over 275 murals as well as to have had the chance to meet and speak with one of the country's most prolific mural artists, Don Small. In a wide range of styles and located in a variety of settings, Barbados' murals are public works of art that engage the viewer. They cover many different genres and themes as well as serve multiple functions and purposes. They reflect, express, and document the country's past and present, and depict the things that have significance and meaning. Murals are important and valuable cultural resources that deserve to be recognized as such, and in turn shared and preserved.”
A New York City native, Jenny was exposed to urban art and murals from a young age enjoying the colour and beauty they brought to her urban landscape. She majored in cultural anthropology in college, spending her junior year in Nepal studying Tibetan Thanka paintings –their structure, learning how to look at them and how people bring, make, and take meaning from them.
With this background, Jenny developed new levels of appreciation for street art and became a “mural enthusiast”, actively seeking opportunities to view as well as learn about and through this type of artwork. She goes on “mural excursions” around the USA.

How It Happened
I have, for so many years, wanted to create a free online reference book where anyone, in any part of the world, may access the creative people in Barbados. I could not do this on my own and Kathy Yearwood heard of my idea, offered to partner with me and I happily agreed.
What started out in March as a small book of what I thought might be a maximum of one hundred and fifty pages turned into a tome of over three hundred pages. A mixture of excitement and fear at what we had taken on. And here we are in December 2011 with a book showing off the talents in Barbados. So exciting.
The eight month adventure began. Finding artists, photographing them and their work. From March 2011 to October 2011 Kathy and I collated the artwork, the bios and statements and travelled around the island garnering images and information.
Large collections of artwork in homes. Convincing people who thought they were too old and forgotten and watching them smile as their work was photographed and having them talk about themselves so that we could create a bio for them. Literally slipping down the hills of clay at Chalky Mount to see an original kiln and spend the day with the potters. Temple Yard with the Rastafarian community where they are blessed with talent, especially carving, and then coming away with gifts of pineapples and avocados. Photographing in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other to get the right angles. Going to openings and craft shows and talking to many. Coming to my home, going to Kathy’s, and going wherever was needed. Meeting the different personalities in so many locations as I photographed many of them for their portrait photo for the book. Remembering some who have left us. A labour of love, learning and fun.
The thank you part as I could not have done this on my own. Norma Springer who encouraged me to “take the book and run with it”. Kathy Yearwood who offered to partner with me collating and to create the book for artists in Barbados. Alison Chapman-Andrews for helping Kathy and I proof read. Amazing how much you miss no matter how many times we went over it. Sue Bain for offering her professional opinion and suggestions as a copy editor. Peter Boos for all the encouragement. Laura Lin Hutchinson for her introduction. Finally, the most important people, the creative souls who put their trust in Kathy and I to show them off to their best. I hope we have done this.

“Hi! Welcome To Antillean Gallery of Art!
My name is Jeena Chatrani and I recently started Antillean Gallery with the intention of promoting and selling art from Caribbean artists online.
I'm an artist myself and I've found that the art scene in Barbados could greatly benefit from some online presence. For the last 6 years I've been a full time artist and have had to learn a lot about the business behind selling art. It's not easy to make it as an artist but it is so fulfilling.
With Antillean Gallery of Art I hope to help raise the standard of art and artists in Barbados, and eventually across the Caribbean.”

Our Mission
To fuel the development of culture through training, research and the creation of opportunities in cultural industries.
The Role of the NCF
The NCF’s two major roles are: developmental and commercial. In its developmental role, the Foundation uses culture as a tool for national development fostering and supporting the various art forms and new cultural products. In its commercial role, the Foundation is responsible for the promotion, production and hosting of cultural festivals and associated events that are considered economically viable or socially acceptable. A key part of this function now includes the responsibility for the staging and execution of major governmental and national events. In addition, as culture becomes more pivotal to national and international policy, the National Cultural Foundation continues to re-assess its responsibilities in light of all its functions.
FUNCTIONS
of the NCF are:
To stimulate and facilitate the development of culture generally
To develop, maintain and manage theatres and other cultural facilities and equipment provided by Government
To organize cultural festivals
Assist persons interested in developing cultural expression.
OBJECTIVES of the NCF are:
To provide opportunities for Barbadian artists/artistes to showcase their talents with the end result being an increased demand for local work
To educate Barbadians concerning their heritage
To offer Barbadians and visitors alike a high quality product that informs, educates and entertains
To equip our cultural workforce with technological skills and training to excel in their particular art forms
To strengthen the local cultural product and in the process increase profits to the shareholders
To create high quality products that will be competitive on the local, regional and international markets
To maximize the role of the cultural sector in the tourism industry

“Somewhere, amid the darkness, a painter measures a blank canvas, a poet tests a line aloud, a songwriter brings a melody into tune. Art inspires, provokes thought, reflects beauty and pain. I seek it out even more in these times. And in so doing, I find hope in the human spirit.”
