Sexypink - The UWI Visual Arts Unit has partnered with two venues to host an exhibition of art and design works by students in their final year of the Visual Arts Degree programme. 

The show will be open to the public at both the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago (ASTT), and Medulla Art Gallery, from April 29 to May 6.

This is the first in-person exhibition by the Visual Arts Unit since the onset of the pandemic. With this in mind, the show is titled “LIVE.” Audiences can enjoy direct interaction with creative works at both venues. The word “live” also suggests that the art and design on display address current, pressing issues in society.

Viewers can expect a range of art forms, from painting and sculpture to video and sound installation.

Rousing replies | UWI Graduate Exhibition 2023

From Kevin Baldeosingh : Remember: the woke bs infiltrated universities before it started getting people cancelled. It's already in UWI's Gender Dept, Arts, while race ideology has been in the History Dept for decades.

Reply: Martin D. Mouttet (Medulla Gallery Curator) Kevin Baldeosingh Please do not mischaracterize this event. It’s not about "woke b.s" or institutional gender and race politics…. it's simply about mental health and the role of creative expression in nurturing personal health, and how each of these students use their art practice to navigate and process harsh realities like anxiety, trauma, depression etc, and apply these tools for the greater good. That’s it.....All in this feed are welcome to attend.

Kevin Baldeosingh replies: Martin D. Mouttet Then don't use the term "safe space", which has a very specific connotation about censorship.

Vergil Hammer Chattergoon  I hear the term safe space used in forums for free expression without judgement. How do you hear it used?

Sexypink expects to add more to this space....

The UWI Department of Creative and Festival Arts and Vulgar Fraction Mas Band are pleased to share an online catalogue of costumes designed by the University's students.

View the catalogue here: https://bit.ly/397FhYh

Mas Mourning—Becoming Wreaths is a University of the West Indies (UWI) Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA) undergraduate course assignment designed by Dr. Marsha Pearce in collaboration with Vulgar Fraction, an Independent Carnival Masquerade band based in Trinidad and Tobago, and led by Robert Young.

 In 2022, Vulgar Fraction conceived the idea of a masquerade presentation that embraces carnival, or mas, as memorial—to address ideas of life and loss in the pandemic. Students taking the UWI DCFA course titled Critical Readings in Caribbean Arts and Culture, facilitated by Dr. Pearce and teaching assistants Omari Ashby and Brendon Lacaille, were asked to consider what it means to “become wreaths” and translate their interpretation in the form of a costume made primarily with dried leaves. See costume designs by 35 students in the online catalogue.Image:

"WoodBrook A Living Hell" by artist Leona Fabien

The impact of commercialisation on the residents of Woodbrook, Port of Spain is being examined in this research. The outcome of the cultural and social changes on the residents, the altering of the built environment and ultimately the demolition of the older residences in the once predominantly residential neighbourhood are crucial to this study  

"As a Woodbrook resident for thirty-three years, I have daily seen and continue to experience the changes in the physical and cultural landscape and human interactions within this place that is home."

LEONA FABIEN

Fabien studied Visual Arts at The Centre for the Creative and Festival Arts, UWI, St Augustine. Whilst there, she was the recipient of several Bursary Awards from UWI Endowment including the M.P. Alladin Prize for Best Visual Arts Degree Student for her final year. She participated in the recently held Hilarian exhibition titled “Celebrating 100 Years –A Call to Arts, Honouring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future, A Proud Tradition of Art Part 2” which was held at the Castle Killarney in Port of Spain. She has been exhibiting with the Women in Art of Trinidad and Tobago since 2001 and has received prizes throughout the years for participating in their shows. In their latest 2021 exhibition “Radiance” held at the Rotunda Gallery located in the Red House, she received an Award of Merit for Most Outstanding Textile Art. She has also been exhibiting with Canvas Caribbean since 2003 and the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago. Finally, Fabien has had work exhibited at The National Museum and Art Gallery and CARIFESTA X, Georgetown, Guyana. She is currently teaching Art and Design and Visual Arts at Bishop Anstey High School, POS.
