Congratulations to The Diaspora Youth
Forum (DYF) UK on the convening of their first Art Exhibition
“WE ARE
GRENADIANS”
Held on Sunday 9th October 2011,
From 3pm – 7pm,
At The Gallery On The Corner, 155
Battersea Park Road, London, SW8 4BU
The Event was advertised as:
‘‘A show to
celebrate the creativity of our wonderful island.’’
The beautiful Spice Isle of
Grenada is a jewel in the Caribbean that has inspired many who have been
fortunate to visit and experience this paradise.
Perhaps the only thing that
matches the beauty of this great nation is the rich history and proud heritage
that Grenadians have been fortunate to inherit and share with the world. One of
the most enduring expressions of Grenadian history, society, culture and heritage
is through art.
Art through portraits,
photography, sculpture and performances has captured history, changed society
and inspired a culture.
This art exhibition seeks to
share, educate, enlighten, entertain and celebrate what it means to be Grenadian
and promote Grenadian culture.
The Exhibition was supported by a medley
of Drums presented by members who hail primarily from the sister Isle of
Carriacou. The variety of talent on display was indeed “feast to the eyes” and
the young artists (some teenagers) were highly commended for their talent and
effort.
The High Commissioner for Grenada HE Ruth
Elizabeth Rouse, was high in praise for the Diaspora Youth Forum (DYF) UK
chaired by Ms Raedonna Griffiths, and thanked those who participated as well as
the guests who supported the Exhibition.
