PULSE

As we move into a world of social distancing, public art takes on new meanings as it encourages us to continue to engage with each other and with our communities. PULSE, a manifold exhibition centred on Bahamian public art, asks us to pause our everyday lives. This three-fold exhibition reflects on the power of art during the contemporary crisis of COVID-19 and historical moments to imagine new beginnings. Themes such as Bahamian identity, local economy, public safety and community togetherness are addressed in the artwork of this show. Artists for PULSE include Allan Wallace, Angelika Wallace Whitfield, Amaani Hepburn, June Collie, Jodi Minnis, Lemero Wright, Matthew Rahming, Benjamin Ferguson, Alisa Streather Robinson, Antonius Roberts, Wellington Bridgewater, Drew Weech, Katrina Cartwright, Nick Austin, Tyrone Ferguson, John Panza, Alex Timchula, Netica "Nettie" Symonette, and David Wynne.
