What if I told you that WAA was the first to have a fish on land? Not just any fish. One you could step into and feel like you were beneath the warm currents of our Caribbean waters. Well, it is true. When one of the most anticipated regional events (the World Creole Music Festival) came upon us, WAA was tasked with creating a piece for the VIP section. The theme was ‘Coastal Village’. And naturally, the creative minds of the Association came up with the idea of a life-sized sailfish.
Pieces, Pages, Poetry | Collection #1- A Deeper Look Within
WAA held its first poetry workshop on the 27th of July. The event was held by Khade Elwin, who is an active member of the Association and a storyteller at heart. Under the theme “A Deeper Look Within”, the workshop proved to be an eve of facing the mirror and wholesome sharing.
The Home Our People and Art Need
WAA will leave a lasting impression. Not a footprint in the sand, destined to be washed away, but a prominent scar in the bark of a tree, where it remains for a lifetime.
