A six-month art show exploring heritage and identity opens next week at the Mind’s Eye Centre, the preserved historic home of Caymanian intuitive artist Gladwyn K. ‘Miss Lassie’ Bush.
The multi-artist exhibition, ‘Circles of Time: Ancestry, Memory, and Movement’, opens 30 May with a special preview for Cayman Art Week on 24 May.
The show will explore generational identity through the works of renowned artists Cera-Tan Kennaird, Nasaria Suckoo-Chollette, Randy Chollette, Nicole Durrant, Kara Julian, Shemila Eden and Bruce Gordon.
“Through poetic visuals and evocative narratives, the exhibition invites reflection on lineage and the transformative patterns we inherit,” the Cayman National Cultural Foundation said in a press release.
“From experimental storytelling to polished documentary formats, each piece offers an intimate and layered exploration of ancestry, cultural memory, and the cyclical nature of personal discovery.”
The Mind’s Eye Centre, in itself a work of art, provides a link between the contemporary artists on display and the experiences of past generations, offering “a cinematic journey into the stories we inherit, the traditions we reimagine, and the cycles we continue”.
The exhibition, curated by Rory Marchant-Kelly and Rita Powell, pays tribute to Miss Lassie’s legacy.
“As part of the celebration during Cayman Art Week, Circles of Time pays tribute to Miss Lassie’s enduring impact, with highlights from her body of work featured at the National Museum, National Gallery, and permanently exhibited at the Mind’s Eye Centre,” the CNCF said.
Circles of Time will remain on display at Mind’s Eye Centre until 30 Aug.
