Curates Caribbean Cultural Icons

“I came from a place that likes grandeur, It likes large gestures , it is not inhibited by flourish, it is a rhetorical society. It is a society of physical performance, it is a society of style. The Caribbean is not an idyll, not to its natives. They draw their working strength from it organically, like trees, like the sea almond or spice laurel of heights. Its peasantry and its fishermen are not there to be loved or svn photographed; the are trees who sweat, and whose bark is filmed with salt, but everyday on some island rootless trees in suits are signing favorable tax breaks with entrepreneurs, poisoning the sea almond and the spice laurel of the mountain to their roots. A morning could come in which governments might ask what happened not merely to the forest and the bays but to the whole people.”
