BARBADOS MUSEUM AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY

1. ‘Memory Of The World,Uncover,Recover,Discover’. Through August 2009. Learn more about UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme through an exhibit curated by artist Ingrid Persaud, which will feature a video installation, the four registered heritage memories from the Caribbean – the archives of Eric Williams, Derek Walcott, C.L.R. James and the British Slave Register from Barbados, and more. For further information please visit the Memory of the World Barbados link: http://mowunescobarbados.org

Uncover, Recover, Discover We must confront what we remember and why we forget. The time has come to celebrate the heritage we possess, mourn what has been lost, uncover the obscured, recover the endangered and discover the hidden.

UNESCO took the initiative in 1992 to create the Memory of the World Programme to guard against collective amnesia. Its premise is that the world's documentary heritage belongs to us all, and therefore should be preserved, protected and permanently accessible to everyone. Heritage is not a luxury. It is integral to the protection of all human rights as laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). It is the foundation from which the values and practices of local communities are understood, respected, encouraged and accommodated. Without this respect our future heritage resources will not be sustained. Local communities need to have a sense of ownership of their heritage. This reaffirms their worth as a community, their ways of going about things, their culture. This exhibition, to coincide with Barbados hosting the annual meeting of the International Advisory Committee of the UNESCO Memory of the World programme, will feature original materials from Caribbean memories that have already been inscribed on the International Memory of the World Register :The Eric Williams Collection, Trinidad, The C.L.R. James Collection, Trinidad, The Derek Walcott Collection, Trinidad and

The Documentary Heritage of Enslaved Peoples of the Caribbean, Barbados. It is also a chance to see memorabilia of iconic figures from many fields including calypsonians Red Plastic Bag and Adrian Clarke; pioneering artist Francs Griffith; father of the nation Sir Grantley Adams and cricket legend and National Hero the Right Excellent Sir Garry Sobers.

The Barbados National Committee for the Memory of the World has also asked local artist Ingrid Persaud to make work on the theme of memory. The resulting film, Talkin’ Wid De Old Folks which features local children talking about their elderly relatives and provocative installation, Stroll Down Memory Lane, which raises questions about the many facets of memory, are also on view at the Barbados Museum.

2. A Portrayal of Portraits’. from August 17th to September 19th . which show the skills and techniques employed by pioneer artist Aileen Hamilton in female portraiture, and versatility in the use of various media.

Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. St. Ann’s Garrison, St. Michael , Tel: 1-246-427-0201/ 1-246-436-1956 Fax: 1-246-429-5946
