Abigail Hadeed on Photographing the Stars
“We Can Make it IF We Try” In the Mid 80’s I started photographing traditional mas and the steel bands in and around Port of Spain. I was young, in my early 20’s with a passion and desire to learn and explore Trinidad and it’s culture.
On my own I began to explore South East POS, Laventille, Belmont and the panyards the traditional mas camps, Minshall, you name it I did it.
followed my instinct and allowed things to unfold. At the time I did not have a plan and or know that 3 decades would just fly by and along the way I had and have worked with the Regions best and greatest. I have much to be thankful for, being born at the time i have, the people who let me in, and the spaces and people that fed my soul.
The Black Stalin was definitely one of those memorable shoots at the studio on Long Circular Road. Black Stalin circa 1991

Sexypink - “A Suh It Guh”, a photographic retrospective of Marina Burnel, a Kingston-based French photographer whose work is inspired by the city and the people who call it home. Far away from her home in Normandy, the overt sensory overload of Kingston’s concentrated culture inspires her philanthropic and artistic manifestations. Idealising her raw and natural aesthetic, she deviates from the traditional, displaying her works on aged zinc, wood, and clay, exploring beauty through the broken. This retrospective showcases the past eight years of her journey through Kingston.
She explores the complexities of modern Jamaican society with the backdrop of a rich world influencing culture. What better place to enjoy this journey than through the Kingston Railway Terminus, which was built in 1845 and continues its very own journey into the 21st century.
This show is presented in association with the Jamaica Railway Corporation at The Kingston Railway Terminus located at 142 Barry Street.
This event is free and open to the public Saturday June 10 and Sunday June 11 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Secure parking is available at the station.

How loyal do you want to be to a telling of the story that cares little for, and even actively erases people like yourself?

SEXYPINK - I missed this wonderful presentation in 2022. Thus I look forward to Crick Crack in 2023.
From the Facebook page of Crick Crack Traditional and Folklore Band (2022) Sunday at the Coco dance festival a traditional mas character Babydoll decided to take the stage and bring the performance out of the carnival..I've learned alot in this process and will continue my journey in "becoming" you don't choose the mas it choose you! Special thanks to cocc family for allowing me to keep this thing we call art alive. The Uncanny doll
