Masterworks Exhibition: ‘Then And Now’
The St. David’s Islanders and Native Community is partnering with Masterworks to showcase “the committee’s growth since inception of their reconnection with their native ancestorial roots.”
A spokesperson said, “The St. David’s Islanders and Native Community will partner with Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art to showcase the committee’s growth since inception of their reconnection with their native ancestorial roots. The exhibition, titled ‘Then and Now #claimurheritage,’ will showcase items on loan from committee members which were cultivated after learning more of their heritage.”
Committee Chairman, Terlena Murphy, said, “One of the goals of the committee has been to establish a museum. We are not there yet however, partnering with Masterworks will provide us an opportunity to showcase what we have learned and how we have grown.”
The spokesperson said, “For the past twenty years, the bi-annual Powwow has been a successful way the St. David’s Islanders and Native Community has been able to share our culture with the wider community. The last Powwow in June was the first time the committee had reconnected with their native cousins after a five-year gap, mainly due to the Covid pandemic.
“The committee plans to show a rare display of artefacts symbolic of their past and present heritage. Visitors can expect to see and learn about ceremonial practices and elements of tradition while also observing the progression of the committee throughout the years.
“The exhibition will open with a very special and unique reception on July 28 from 5:30pm to 7pm and will be available to view until August 22.”
