Over 35 Indigenous pieces from six artists on show at Castellani House

Over 35 pieces of art from six Indigenous artists, primarily from the Arawak tribe, went on display at Castellani House in Georgetown, Guyana, on Monday evening at the annual Art Exhibition and Pop-up Fashion Show. The exhibition, a collaboration between Castellani House and the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, runs until the end of the month and marks Indigenous Heritage Month. Curator Ohene Koama noted the works are wood-based, inspired by the artists' environment and heritage, featuring abstract and symbolic forms. Featured artist Roaland Taylor, from St Cuthbert's Mission, has participated since the exhibition began in the late 1980s, originally at Umana Yana.
