The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas invites you to an artist talk with Tessa Whitehead on Thursday, July 11th starting at 7:00 p.m. The talk will look at how her body of work supported in "...there are always two deaths" was created and her views around process, loss and the reinforcement of contemporary womanhood.

There are several ways of finding yourself
Letitia Pratt–travel grantee for the Tilting Axis Travel Award given the NAGB–attended the annual visual arts conference, the only of its kind in the world to centre the Caribbean, and reports on the meeting which took place at the Memorial ACTé in Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe at the end of the May. Under the theme "Decolonisation and Art Criticism" Pratt engaged with nuances emerging out of readings on Édouard Glissant's "The Poetics of Relation" which lead to a deeper understanding of the region's cultural realities and challenges as creative thinkers, makers, writers and doers.

NAGB Film Series presents "City of God"
The NAGB welcomes you to a special screening of the critically acclaimed 2002 Brazilian crime epic "City of God," on Thursday, July 25th starting at 8:00 p.m. In the poverty-stricken favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the 1970s, two young men choose different paths.
