Caribbean Heritage Month has brought with it the whirling richness that is the cultural diversity throughout the Caribbean nations/we peoples of Caribbean heritage—and our captivating, creative works.

Here’s my 6/20 Instagram post on one of🌴our amazing artists, from a seemingly magical island just off the coast of my Mum’s native South America—but also nestled in the geographical Caribbean itself: 

#Art.🎨It’s mixed up in living without breathing itself, can lure & reel & haunt without hunting…and storytells histories & moments & movements without a word well-placed, or misplaced, or pinned. It’s a reality play, played out in flecks & glints & visual whispers…It is what it is what you *perceive* it is. And it is all a magic✨. 

This #CaribbeanHeritageMonth, I salute the truly keen & prolific #Caribbean visual artists amongst us, like self-taught artist & illustrator🇨🇼@theonlybagirayouknow👩🏻‍🎨—whose works stare at & dare you all the way from the sweeping beaches, coves, & serenity of her Dutch island home of 🇨🇼Curaçao.🏝Where would life be without *these* who, with brush & colour, can so vividly curate & redefine our cultures?💃🏽#CaribbeanArtists #CaribbeanCulture #SupportLivingArtists

(👉Curaçao is a 🇳🇱Dutch Caribbean island just off the Venezuelan coast of my 🇬🇾Mum’s native South American🌎 continent—and it’s considered both part of the South American continent & also, geographically, the Caribbean).
