Description

Curated by London based Saint Lucian photographer artist, filmmaker and historian, Fiona Compton’s “Know Your Caribbean: Tribute to the Culture”, created under the @KnowYourCaribbean brand, highlights the untold stories of the Caribbean. The series promotes the diversity, dynamism and beauty of a region that has been misrepresented with monolithically shallow narratives. Global synergies are not only created through the traditional elements of Caribbean culture found in fetes like music, dance and food, but by integrating history, customs and education.
