Back to Da Island (2018)

“Back to da Island” explored indigenous Bahamian crafts like straw work, basket weaving, shellcraft, wood carving and much more, in traditional and not so traditional ways, all while delving into the stories from and the histories of the islands where these different crafts originated. Campers’ exploration of materials and techniques paid homage to Bahamian crafts in their original form while pushing it into the realm of fine art, building a bridge between two equally important forms of creative expression.
