ITE: “From Time” Tours

November 26, 2021 Comments Off on ITE: “From Time” Tours
Sign up today for a guided tour of the exhibition “From Time: Water Has A Perfect Memory”. Tours are a memorable experience for everyone involved and are hosted under three guided themes, sustainability, archival history and art techniques. This experience is ideal for school and community groups. Participants will be led on a fun, informative tour of the virtual exhibition “From Time” and explore techniques utilised by artists in the creation of their work. They will also connect written literary skills with visual narratives in artworks to analyse and discuss concepts and ideas present in the works.  Tours are offered free of charge for students and teachers and provide a truly comprehensive experience that goes beyond their virtual visit to the museum. They are designed to stimulate curiosity, reinforce and augment curriculum-based learning, engage students in critical dialogue about the works they see and bridge subjects so that students can experience artwork in its entirety – as a visual expression of historical, mythical, political, social, spiritual, literary and personal narratives. Sign up today to add an exciting element to your virtual visitor experience. Tours are available  Mondays to Fridays 10:00 a.m, - 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m., through January 23rd, 2022. To book a tour or for more information, please contact our Community Outreach Officer at [email protected]

The Inter-Island Travelling Exhibition goes to North Eleuthera

February 28, 2020 News, Upcoming Exhibitions Comments Off on The Inter-Island Travelling Exhibition goes to North Eleuthera

Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera is the first stop for the newest iteration of the NAGB’s Inter-Island Travelling Exhibition, “From Time: Water Has A Perfect Memory”. This exhibition functions in some ways as a time capsule, using historical knowledge and visual interpretations to engage with the country’s past and present and envision a more hopeful future. With colonial works from the 1800s, to the post-independence contemporary practice of the last few decades, “From Time” opens up conversations on slavery and colonialism to examine how that era’s gross accumulation of wealth and the booming industrial era it generated, served as the catalyst for the climate injustice we are now witnessing.
