The Solitary Alchemist   Directed by Mariel Brown;What happens when talent isn’t enough? When, in spite of a life of work, you look around in the autumn of your life and discover that your world is not what you thought it would be. This is where we meet Trinidadian jeweller, Barbie Jardine.;Trained at England’s prestigious Royal College of Art, Jardine moved back to her native Trinidad in 1974 where she developed new techniques in working with traditional and indigenous materials, and evolved a personal narrative style for making wearable works of art. ;But 30 years on from returning to the Caribbean, and in spite of having her work purchased by a major metropolitan museum, there are nagging questions she just can’t shake: Why isn’t my work more recognised? Have I made a crucial mistake? She is resentful and angry. And she wants something more. An opportunity to create a new piece for an exhibition in Scotland presents itself and Barbie is both nervous and hopeful. Will this be the chance to finally carve out her own space in the world?;;Calypso Dreams   Directed by Geoffrey Dunn;The feature-length documentary film Calypso Dreams chronicles the fascinating spirit and traditions of Calypso music in the island country of Trinidad and Tobago, dating back to its complex Afro-Caribbean roots in the 18th and 19th centuries.;With narrative commentary by the popular Caribbean musician David Rudder, the film captures riveting, contemporary performances by a host of legendary Calypso performers with colorful “sobriquets,” including the Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Lord Superior, Black Stalin, Mighty Bomber, Lord Blakie, Singing Sandra and Mighty Terror, and pays homage to recently deceased Calypsonians, including Lord Kitchener and Lord Pretender.;;Tribes  Directed by Ras Kassa;Set in Trinidad and Tobago (An estimated fourteen thousand (14,000) people in Trinidad and Tobago are living with HIV/AIDS), Tribes takes viewers on a rollercoaster of love, life and lessons learned.

Barbados map 2010 MAR 02 Museum Lecture Series 2010 - Emigration from Barbados - Lecture 3 This is the third of ten lectures in the 2010 series sponsored by the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, in conjunction with the Department of History at the UWI. The lectures seek to heighten public awareness and to inform opinion on significant events in the history of Barbados. The series is one of the highlights of the annual museum calendar with lectures being given by highly qualified historians and other academics. The title of this year series is 'Emigration from Barbados'.  At a time when local social services, jobs and other amenities are under pressure from significant inward migration, it is perhaps wise to reflect on those times in our not too-distant past when Barbadians benefited from outward migration. This week's lecture will be given by Dr. Karl Watson, Senior Lecturer at the UWI Cave Hill Campus, and currently the Chairman of the Barbados National Trust, and is titled "Extending Plantation".  Museum publications, including the latest edition (2009) of the highly respected Museum Journal, will be on sale.

Barbados map 2010 APR 09 UWI Cave Hill Film Society: 'A Touch of Spice' This movie is part of the 2009/10 season of film sponsored by the UWI Cave Hill Film Society. ;;The UWICHFS carefully selects the films it presents for their directorial and cinematographic value. They are often foreign films with English sub-titles. There is usually a discussion about the film afterward.;;A touch of Spice ("Politiki Kousina", by Tassos Boulmetis, Greece, 2006) is a story about a young Greek boy (Fanis) growing up in Istanbul, whose grandfather, a culinary philosopher and mentor, teaches him that both food and life require a little salt to give them flavor; they both require... A Touch of Spice.  

Fanis grows up to become an excellent cook and uses his cooking skills to spice up the lives of those around him. 35 years later he leaves Athens and travels back to his birthplace of Istanbul to reunite with his grandfather and his first love; he travels back only to realize that he forgot to put a little bit of spice in his own life

Howaida is a Barbadian of Middle-Eastern descent.

Howaida has twice before had solo exhibitions at the Gallery of Caribbean Art.  Her third show is a must-see event.
