Congratulations to Mark King whose designs are in the permanent collection at The International African American Museum.

“The IMMERSION pieces take inspiration from workwear and traditional garments. The woven pattern is informed by the wrought iron garden bed frames found throughout Barbados.”

“Thrilled to share that @iaamuseum has acquired three garments from Enclothed Cognition @enclothedcog , my ongoing collaboration with the amazing Bregje Cox ( @noirnearfuture ). Our jacquard-woven IMMERSION kimono, shirt, and trousers are currently on view in the Atlantic Worlds exhibition. It’s an honor to be included in the permanent collection of an institution that celebrates the African diaspora through art and artifacts.

The IMMERSION pieces take inspiration from workwear and traditional garments. The woven pattern is informed by the wrought iron garden bed frames found throughout Barbados. Massive thanks to @jamesebartlett for including us in the collection + @chenmeilingchen for the masterful mannequin transformation”

Sadly the 250 year old bearded fig tree at Andromeda has collapsed.

In turn I have asked if it can be reused and so have another life.

The “beards” can be used for wall hangings, basketry, art and more.

Andromeda says artists can come and gather for themselves.

I have also asked if any of the wood is any good for sculpture and when I hear back perhaps the wood sculptors can go and gather trunks and branches.

“

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.”

Artist Shara Spencer’s exhibition

‘Barbados Ah Come From' at Drift. Holetown.

Open Tuesdays to Saturdays 5 p.m until late. @driftloungebarbados.

“Barbados Ah Come From is a tribute to the beautiful island that I call home! Combining different styles and subjects I've added my unique take to a collection of "Bajan icons".

Hi! I'm Shara and l'm an acrylic on canvas kinda girl. I love chocolate and bright and beautiful things and I try to capture that beauty in my artwork. I believe that you can find art in everyday life and that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy something beautiful. I guess I'm on a mission to make art relatable, inclusive and accessible. I hope you enjoy Barbados Ah Come From!
