VISUAL ARTS EVENTS BARBADOS on Instagram. @visualartsbarbadosevents Visualartsbarbadosevents 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. Corrie Scott

I believe, that the elusive "presence" in a work of art is in the mark. Not in the style, nor in the color or the form, But in the primal energy of the mark itself.

‘As Above, So Below’ The Brighton Storeroom is delighted to announce the opening on Saturday, 2nd April 2022 of Barbadian artist Versia Harris’ exhibition; As Above, So Below. The opening hours are 7 - 10am every Saturday and by appointment. As Above, So Below runs until the 28th April 2022. There will be a formal opening reception on April 7th, 5pm-7pm. The exhibition is accompanied by a text written by Dr Allison Thompson, art historian and curator. As Above, So Below is a multi-media installation combining numerous made and found objects to form a fantasy world scape of strange cattle, decapitated heads and inverted faces. Together, under an eerie light these surreal objects form imaginary and physical ‘bodies’ at play with our conscious and subconscious to evoke heaven and earth. Addressing the human condition, identity, land, control, power and hierarchy, Versia says she wishes “to explore the links between conflict, struggle, aggression and beauty, story and triumph”. Versia Harris gained a BFA in Studio Art in 2012 and MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan USA in 2019. She was awarded a Fulbright Laspau Scholarship in 2017/2018 and the Errol & Nita Barrow Enabling Scholarship Award in 2017. Other Awards include the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services New Beginnings Award in 2019; Best Animated Short Award / Barbados Film and Video Association Festival / 2015 and Best New Media Film Award / Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival / 2014. Versia has completed artist residences across the Caribbean and North and South America. She has exhibited in group exhibitions, film festivals and Biennials in London, China, Nigeria, Moscow, Michigan (USA) and Aruba and continues to exhibit internationally, while teaching at The Barbados Community College. The Brighton Storeroom has health & safety measures in place to prioritise the welfare and peace of mind of our visitors. The gallery is well ventilated and we follow social distancing and sanitising protocols. Please bring (and wear) your masks.

Artist’s rights and the market – Part 2 http://www.jamaicamonitor.com/artists-rights-and-market-part-2-995 Veerle Poupeye
Sun, 02/20/2022
The question arises as to how we can make the art market more equitable and fairer towards the artists and their heirs in ways that are workable in the Caribbean context and without creating a prohibitive situation that would kill the market altogether, as this would be in nobody’s interest. One answer is that there is a need for greater transparency and disclosure. Galleries and art dealers in Jamaica, for instance, have conventionally refused to disclose to artists who bought work, citing confidentiality. My own position is that artists, or their estates, have a right to know who owns their work. They also have a right to know, and to have a reasonable say in how much the work is sold or resold for, beyond the obvious obligation for dealers to disclose the sales price for work they sell on commission on behalf of the artists. It can be detrimental to an artist’s market if the work is resold below its first sale prices. Such an obligation to disclose and consult will, no doubt, be resisted by certain collectors, but I believe that it is ethically necessary. Artists already maintain the intellectual and creative property rights of their work under the relevant copyright laws, and this cannot be managed properly without access to current ownership information. In many jurisdictions, measures have been put in place to ensure that artists and their estates benefit from the resale and use of their work, beyond the already well-established reproduction rights. Resale royalties are one such measure and involve the payment of a royalty percentage to the artist or the estate on any second sales of their work, whether by a dealer or auction house. In the UK, for instance, resale royalties vary from four to 0.25 per cent, depending on the sales price. Some restrictions apply. For instance, the right to resale royalties only comes into effect after three years, at least for works sold for £10,000 or less, and does not apply to private sales or sales to a museum. The right to resales royalties runs for as long as the work remains in copyright. (Read more here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/artists-resale-right). Another such measure is exhibition fees, by which a payment reverts to the artist for the inclusion of their work in an exhibition, whether this involves existing or new work. In countries where Arts Council funding is available for exhibitions, such a payment is usually mandatory. Exhibition fees can be counterproductive, however, especially where culture institutions operate on shoestring budgets, as is all too common, and are in no position to make such payments for their exhibitions or would be constrained to exhibit less artists and less frequently. With some creative thinking, and a reasonable approach by all parties, it may, however, be possible to reach compromises that are workable in the Caribbean context.
With the fostering of greater artists’ rights also comes obligations, however. One is the need for greater formalization and documentation of the art market, and for artists and other participants who earn more than any tax-free threshold to pay income and business taxes. This poses a big challenge in the Caribbean, where art markets typically function with a significant degree of informality and are largely off the record. This informality, however, comes at a cost, at least when it comes to the ability to enforce artist’s rights, which cannot be left to goodwill and unenforceable expectations of ethical conduct. It also means that artists must be smarter about managing their legacies, with a duly appointed estate with an accessible person who is empowered to grant IP permissions and to collect royalties. It is in nobody’s interest for there to be orphaned works of art. Too much emphasis has been placed, in the Caribbean, on enforcing reproduction rights, which are sometimes made difficult and costly for non-profit and educational purposes, as I have experienced on a few occasions when I was faced with unreasonably high demands for payment for reproductions in academic publications for which I was myself not paid or reimbursed. In such instances, I simply had to decide not to write about the artist or work, or not to reproduce the work in question. It is actually in the interest of the artists for the work to be reproduced and written about critically and academically, as this enhances their market position, although royalties of course have to be paid for commercial, for-profit reproductions. The focus on intellectual property rights should, in my view, be on garnering benefits for the artists from where actual profits are made and that is most likely to happen in the art market. There have been artists’ rights groups in the Caribbean (Representing Artists in Barbados comes to mind) and obviously there is a need for well-organized national and regional lobby groups to agitate on behalf of the artistic community. Elsewhere, artist’s rights are often administered by Arts Councils and that, too, is something that needs to be looked at in the Caribbean, supported by appropriate legislative change.

MARCH 17th #BAJANTBT From its establishment in 1984, development of the local Visual Arts sector was a major concern for the National Cultural Foundation. A key part of this vision was to ensure that artists had a space to showcase their works hence the establishment of the Queen’s Park Gallery. Another initiative was the production of art catalogues and brochures that featured exhibiting artists and their oeuvres. Copies of these publications were shared with the Barbados Archives and the National Library Service. They were also important resource material for secondary school students studying art for the, then, CXC examinations. This Ronnie Carrington photograph of master sculptor Karl Broodhagen among his creations was featured in one of the first catalogues produced in 1985. It was based on his exhibition entitled “Tribute An Exhibition of the Sculpture of Karl Broodhagen” that ran February 24-March 17th 1985.
Ada Patterson in Amsterdam. Manifold Books No.15 Kanga for the Present ( preview here https://media.contemporaryartlibrary.org/.../original... ) Ada M. Patterson March 5 – April 9 Location: Kraijenhoffstraat 34, 1018 RL Amsterdam. “In Kanga for the Present Ada M. Patterson shows an ongoing series of kanga. A textile popular in East Africa, kanga always contain a saying and are given as gifts, during lifechanging moments such as celebration or mourning. Kanga are often worn as a piece of clothing wrapped around the head, shoulders or waist. In conversation with friends and loved ones living under climate crisis, Ada M. Patterson uses kanga to hold all the grief, joy and complication experienced by changing bodies in a changing world. Just as a hurricane revolves around its eye and a rolling wave turns in and around itself, so do the minds and bodies of those wrapping themselves in kanga. Following the contours of the attic space of Manifold Books, the artist displays the kanga as a canopy, offering shelter to any spiralling movements inside. About Manifold Books: Manifold Books is a platform that explores connections between art and books. With each exhibition a few titles are added to its book collection (all including artists’ interventions). For further info, please refer to: www.manifoldbooks.nl “

CURATORIAL STATEMENT by Lisa Smith Fields Artists Alliance Barbados’ exhibition ‘…ER Battle Cry’ at the Embassy of Argentina.
CURATORIAL STATEMENT by Lisa Smith Fields Artists Alliance Barbados’ exhibition ‘…ER Battle Cry’ at the Embassy of Argentina. Exhibition ends April 16th. “…ER seeks to explore the seeming impossibilities of femininity, the promises and the realities of being, and the journey between stages of actuality. Arise woman Be heard You are important You are valuable You are worthy of love You are a treasure beyond a price tag As you are is where you start You are just right to be you Let your beauty shine Together we are better THE LANGUAGE ER as the suffix ‘err’ describes a person or thing that does or provides an action: givER, bringER, taker. It describes people and the positions they hold: mothER, sistER, daughtER, fathER, brothER, i.e. the components of family. ER as the abbreviation E.R is the Emergency Room, a place for urgent care that we find ourselves in sometimes, either physically or emotionally. …ER is the chapeau for a series of progressive initiatives, articulating experience for healing, selfdevelopment and renewal. To be made bare and to be alone are states to which we can all relate. Social pressures can place a spotlight on that exposed nakedness, making that state a stark cry. We commemorate International Women’s Day with Battlecry, to be followed by Voices with a focus on trauma and healing, and Power Moves looking at women in politics and positions of power. These programmes will be in collaboration with other interest groups.
The theme for International Women's Day 2022 is 'breaking the bias', working towards a world free of stereotypes and discrimination that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. …ER Battlecry is the opening chapter to empower, enrich and revitalize. A primal beckoning whose origins from antiquity has promised reward in victory. This exhibition is a focused and committed exploration of the seeming impossibilities of femininity, the promises and realities of being and the journey between stages of actuality. This is an appeal to fervently explore self, heal and grow. The artists express through their collective voice a reverberating enigma which envelopes and emboldens; this call is the beginning to engage throughout this process of raw discovery and pilgrimage to regeneration. The exhibition is in three defined spaces. ALLEGORY. NOW. FUTURE. ALLEGORY greets your arrival as the space where stories live, where imaginative characters and compositions weave tales of past and present happenings. In Jill Mc Intyre’s Medusa the virgin priestess is attacked and raped on the steps of her church by a criminal who then victim-shamed her so successfully that no one remembers his crime. As a people we are very familiar with criminal misrepresentation and disenfranchisement. Yet we rise. Through the synergy of artist Lisa Smith Fields and author Akim Goddard, a fusion of the visual and the verse, The Mask Maker unfolds, a character in magical mask ready to fight against atrocities and mountainous odds at high costs. Ann Rudder’s Behold I Am Isis Beloved Tree of Life examines the sovereignty of a people, the human rights and social ideals to be realized, as is scripted. NOW is the space where sorrow happens. Trauma, hardships, battles and the process of overcoming are addressed by Sian Pampellone, Margaret Rodriguez, Susan Alleyne Forde and Shawn Fields. Let’s heal together through our physical manifestation of art therapy. Know that you are not alone.
In FUTURE we rise. We salute a time to come when all will be better, we will love, laugh, exhale and grow stronger beyond the perimeters of our imaginings. The works in this section take our minds to a new place and time when we have overcome. Neville Crawford’s Lovers and Kiss by Ilix Heartman resonate a message of hope and attest to this bliss. We are here, let us rise together. DEDICATION This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of my grandmother. Violet Smith was made of the softest steel. She was an absolute general and we never agreed for all my young years. It took her leaving for me to see that she was in the business of actively building backbone. Coming from the background of a time when women were largely disenfranchised, she ruled. She fought, was cantankerous, drank a gin, smoked the odd cigarette socially, enjoyed a good wukkup at school fairs, (much to my mortification), and was a nurturing iron matriarch for legion.” Lisa Smith Fields Curator March 2022

Artist Alliance Barbados . . .ER Battle Cry (Healing WOMEN with Art) Feature Address by Professor The Most Honourable V. Eudine Barriteau, FB, GCM At the Opening Reception 5th March 2022 Embassy of The Argentine Republic in Barbados COMING HOME TO SELF AND SOCIETY Protocol: Charge’ D’affaires, Embassy of Argentina, Mr Angel Dalmazzo, Dame Billie Miller, Dr David Akombo, Dean, Faculty of Culture, Creative and Performing Arts, The UWI, Cave Hill Campus, Ms. Oneka Small of the Artist Alliance of Barbados, Ms Lisa Smith-Fields, Curator of the Art Exhibition, All artists, distinguished guests, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen, Good evening, and welcome to this wonderful, creative display by Artist Alliance Barbados in celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8th. Your art is displayed under the theme, “…ER Healing Women with Art –The Battle Cry”. I acknowledge your theme and have titled my address, “Coming Home to Self and Society”. This exhibition launches a year of activities that will focus on themes such as Women in Agriculture, Women in Leadership\Tokenism and Power, Stages of Life and the Female Body, Menopause and the Feeling of Invisibility, Healing from Tragedy, (rape, abuse, harassment), Overcoming Loss, Body Positive Perspective, Colourism, Beauty Scars and Eating Disorders, Women Labourers, and Balancing Act – Work, Life and Love.
I congratulate and commend all of you for being willing to use art to confront some of the thorny issues facing women which may impede our experience of joy and fulfilment. I thank you for recognising the vital necessity of women healing themselves from the various traumas both women and men have experienced and continue to experience since Columbus’ intrusion in this Caribbean space over 530 years ago. There is a specificity to the traumas women experience just as there are for men. And if you closely examine the themes you have set yourselves, you find that these can be classified into two areas, issues affecting the self, and issues affecting women in society. These conditions are also tangible and material and many are also ideological, or about the beliefs we hold and how these influence our behaviours and expectations. Themes such as Women in Agriculture and Women Labourers refer primarily to conditions of work, compensation, access to markets and support, recognition of the stabilizing and valuable roles women fulfill in Caribbean societies, in ensuring food production and food security. These themes address societal roles and whether or not women will have equitable access to a range of resources and opportunities. Your upcoming exhibitions could reveal whether women’s access to resources are equitable and just. Other topics such as the Female Body, Menopause and the Feeling of Invisibility, Body Positivity, Colourism, Beauty Scars and Eating Disorders, speak to the beliefs we hold about women and women’s bodies, and some of the self-hatred women have inculcated in the long journey to acceptance of self. To answer your battle cry, women have to come home to self and selfacceptance. As you very wisely recognise, that journey to self can be facilitated by art, and I use art here as not only the visual arts but as a metaphor for the creative process of which the visual arts is a fundamental dimension. The challenge of Caribbean societies treating women as invisible repeats itself, continues to reoccur, even though we are aware women in prominent leadership positions here and the Caribbean are highly visible. Thirty years ago, in an address entitled, “Coming, Coming, Coming Home.” George Lamming cautioned “this treatment of the female as an invisible presence; that is made absent when she is present, is a continuing factor in the political and intellectual backwardness of our institutions” (Lamming 1992).
I see your ongoing work and this exhibition as expanding on a key point Lamming makes in his essay ‘Coming Home’. Lamming advises that we must undertake that work to compile an inventory of ourselves, so necessary to understand who we are and also to elaborate that consciousness which would allow us to understand where we must go (Hector 2011: 376). The title of your art exhibition indicates you have already decided that a central place you have to go; is you have to come home to self. No meaningful healing will happen if we do not accept and make peace with who we are and where we came from. This of course, will influence our individual and societal journeys. Too many women and men have internalised the trauma of living in Caribbean societies that were once explicitly racist, especially towards African descended people. What you have described as “colourism, beauty scars and eating disorders” did not arise in a vacuum. It becomes even more harmful for Black women whose bodies are constantly objectified. Charles Kingsley a 19th Century British Historian, professor and priest, recorded for posterity his polarizing views of black and Indian women in the colonial Caribbean. At the same time, he reinforced stereotypes of both African and Indian Caribbean women. Guyanese scholar Aliyah Khan stated Kingsley described the Black woman as masculine, with “superabundant animal vigour and the perfect independence of the younger [African] women” and “the young Indian woman ‘hung all over with bangles, in a white muslin petticoat . . . and gauze green veil; a clever, smiling, delicate little woman, who is quite aware of the brightness of her own eyes.’” (Tejaswini 2006: 82 quoted in Khan 2016: 277). This is just one example, (and there are many) of so many in our historical records that denigrate the bodies and psyche of Black women. Kingsley’s portrayal of African and Indian women is not flattering. It is not accidental that so many Black and other women do not accept themselves and have negative selfimages.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let us celebrate the right of all women to be, however and whatever they want to be, whether hairdressers or hardware engineers, accountants or artists. Boldly display in your creativity and your life, women’s right to be. I read with fascination the Alliance’s use of “…ER: Battle Cry”. I see the word HER in Brother, Father, Mother, and note only in sister you cannot isolate it. My advice to you, (and you are entirely welcome or free to ignore it; you invited me, so I am telling you what I think), is add the H to ER. If you do not maintain the relevance of Her story, you will end up with HIStory. I know the men who are artists, who are displaying in this incredible exhibition, support and celebrate you. They do not need to have women’s linguistic and literal reality truncated, to appreciate and applaud the relevance and vitality of what you do. Healing Art for women should start with Her healing so that you do not end up with …ER, Emergency Room responses. Restore HER. Now, even as your work addresses the need for healing women with art, be willing to take up the battle cry for issues confronting women in the wider society. We cannot become too engrossed in navel gazing that it prevents us from focusing on systemic issues of unemployment, poverty, inadequate child care, insufficient child support that affect so many women. Take the issue of ‘period poverty’ which is now attracting attention and charitable donations. Women who cannot afford to provide themselves with basic women’s hygienic products are not exactly able to provide for themselves across a range of basic needs. It is relatively shortsighted to tackle the need for monthly supplies for menstruation without reflecting that women’s inability to do so, is an indication of more systemic deprivations relating to food, clothing and shelter. I am not dismissive of donations made, but one cannot take comfort in meeting one dimension of women’s existence without admitting ‘period poverty’ is symptomatic of, signals income constraints in many other areas. Similarly, when women cannot care for their children, that is a concern for the state and the society. As a country, we cannot have a progressive, welcoming immigration policy in isolation from the young citizens who are born here and to whom we have a duty of care when their family structures fail them. State and societal investment in the wellbeing of children from economically challenged families, with women struggling to make ends meet, is an investment in social cohesion and social capital, Barbados will be better off when this is fully addressed. How will the Alliance address this in your work?
As I have stated before, it is far less costly and far more beneficial to families and society to invest in after school and community programmes, in providing financial assistance for single mothers than in creating homes for delinquent children, it is far more beneficial to assist single mothers that to invest in expanded policing, and more incarceration facilities. So on the eve of International Women’s Day, as you seek to advance ways of healing women with art, I urge you to think of ways women in our society can benefit from your artistic focus on their struggles and successes and what we can do to advance societal healing. Again I congratulate you for your creativity and dedication and I wish you great success in answering your battle cry. I also wish to thank the Argentinian Embassy for making its facilities available and staging this wonderful art exhibition in support of women. Happy International Women’s Day to all Women everywhere. Thank you. - Professor The Most Honourable V.

George Gill on his new mural. “Thank you to the Israel Lovell Foundation building for allowing me to do a two-story half wrap mural of it premises. The mural "reads" from East facing wall to West. The first panel, with its bold motif or red, gold black and green was purposefully placed on the only "unbroken" wall to signify the strength and history of all humanity originating from Africa. However, the semi-circular pattern, like a clock seeks to show that that has yet to told or completed. The second panel depicts a sailing ship as it leaves to shores of the Motherland. With the idea of "show something without showing it, this imagery was used to depict the vehicle of the Slave Trade. I preferred not to depict the bodies in chains, or the stacking of humans as cargo, but rather by focusing on the mechanism, elicit more discussion on the system that brought us here to the New World. These two walls together represent the PAST. The front of the building has electric red band with underneath the yellow outline/silhouette of what is a mountain peak. As we strive for excellence, we look up, and in so doing acknowledge the ancestors, who continue to comfort and guide. This is the PRESENT. The West facing wall features a futuristic Ankara print, with two hands clasped in a sign of unity. This is also rooted by the depiction of tree that holds up the entire "mass". This is to once acknowledge "who's shoulders you stand on" as Barbados seeks to go forward in this new phase as a Republic and that it will take that unity to make it successful. Please feel free to comment below and let me know what else you can spot, general feelings, and take on this mural. Special thanks to the entire team at the National Cultural Foundation, as well as fellow artist and contributors, Harper, Plan D, and Shortman! 👊🏾” -George Gill

In this newly minted passion — and in a new time for the art world where galleries are starting to exhibit much more online — he decided to likewise provide a forum for his artist friends, many who had yet to show in a space or hadn’t done so in years, to showcase their own work, and as well for other artists that Kerry discovers to have a forum for them to show to an even wider audience.

Jeena Chatrani and the new Antilles Gallery. https://m.facebook.com/AntilleanGalleryofArt/ “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.” -Jeena Chatrani

“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.” Dan Rather
