On the first Blank Canvas of 2020, we host Abaconian artist, Leanne Russell, in the studio to talk about her artwork in the NAGB’s latest exhibition, “Refuge.” An open call to Bahamian artists to create works processing the events during and after Hurricane Dorian, Russell created images with archival images of the Great Abaco Hurricane of 1932 overlaid with her own documentary photos from the 2019 tragedy.

Celebrating the opening of our next show at NAGB, “Refuge,” we invited four Bahamian artists to share their journey through Hurricane Dorian and the reflections that inspired their artwork.
