LONDON, UK,
April 11, 2012 – At the invitation of the High Commission for Grenada in the United
Kingdom, Grenadian artist Suelin Low Chew Tung, currently in the UK to attend a
conference in Leeds, met with residents at the Pepper Pot Day Centre in
Ladbroke Grove.
Fourteen residents took part in an art
workshop - creating collaged art masks from paper and cardstock. They also
learned about the Grenada ShortKnee, and the history behind this indigenous
masquerade that Suelin is researching from a visual art point of view. The
Pepper Pot Centre 'provides a wide range of drop-in activities, a hot Caribbean
lunch and full day care for older people, part of a comprehensive service to
older people from the African Caribbean community in Kensington and Chelsea, to
enable them to live more independently in their own homes.' The High
Commissioner for Grenada is a Patron of the Centre.
Suelin also left a small piece of artwork
created as a momento of her visit to the centre.
The High Commissioner congratulated
Suelin on this initiative and the Centre also expressed its appreciation to the
Grenadian Artist.
