Expressions of Bahamian Identity
Adaptable to all grade levels
How do artists tell stories about who we are? This lesson explores Bahamian history—piracy, the Eleutheran Adventurers, the arrival of Loyalists, slavery, and emancipation—through the eyes of visual artists who grapple with identity and belonging.
