country in the world; whether rich or poor, according to Kenrick Prince
Andrews, author and director of screenplay entitled
"Look Up."

of the Bahamas, gained his first exposure to the film industry at the
tender age of seven, while acting in a Borden Dairy commercial.
From this early exposure to film making, he knew that he would either
be in front of or behind the camera. Before he left the Bahamas
to study abroad, Andrews produced two episodes of the television show

(Video) On the road in Grand Bahama - Bahamas Election 2012
Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - May 7th, 2012 The
Bahamas Weekly News Team spent election day on the streets of Grand Bahama
shooting photos and videos at various polling locations across the island From
Church of
the Ascension onto West
End,
our small team comprising of David
Mackey/ Webmaster for TheBahamasWeekly.com and our new reporter Desiree Joseph
were quite taken aback by the stillness in the air on the island; one could
almost hear a pin drop. It wasn't until our team entered Pinder's Point that persons
were a bit more animated. By the time we hit the western end of the
island, we encountered persons outwardly displaying enthusiasm and willing to
talk on camera.

20 QUESTIONS
Artist Kishan Munroe answers this week's Twenty Questions from Guardian Arts&Culture.
1. What's been your most inspirational moment in the last five years?
My most inspirational moment in the last five years would be as I was documenting the active protests against the execution of Troy Davis (who had Bahamian roots by the way) in the state of Georgia, USA. Although most of the protests were overwhelmingly inspiring in their marvelous display of solidarity and devotion, one isolated incident sticks out in my mind even until today.
It was witnessing a Reverend by the name of Marvin Morgan chain himself to a flagpole in front of a courthouse in an act of non-violent protest. He was an older gentleman and had used a thick metal chain to secure himself to the flagpole. He sat there by himself, with clasped hands, wearing the white collar of the clergy. He acted alone. Present on the scene was only a single reporter from the LA Times and I (with camera in hand). We both documented the unfolding situation in our different art forms as Morgan was gradually encroached upon by eight hefty officers of the law. We (the reporter and I) were Morgan's protection. It was the two of us who insured that Morgan would not be abused by the police, like so many often are in these politically charged situations. My camera wasn't shooting bullets but rather awareness, and that brought him some comfort that he was, in a way, protected and that his actions did make a difference, even if it wasn't immediate. Through my lens his struggle was solidified in history and his spirit of spirituality and justice lives on through my work.
That was definitely one of the most pivotal civil rights moments in our modern times and I played a part in it. I wasn't just "mark-making"; rather I was contributing to the progression of society. The influence of this memory is perpetuated in my work.
2. What's your least favorite piece of artwork?
My least favorite work of art is the concept that I passively neglected to execute physically: an orphan idea.
3. What's your favorite period of art history?
The Renaissance.
4. What are your top 5 movies of all time?
The Artist.
James Bond (the entire series).
300.
The Godfather.
Gladiator.
5. Coffee or tea?
Coffee.
6. What book are you reading now?
"A Hungry Heart: A Memoir" by Gordon Parks.
7. What project are you working on now?
The Universal Human Experience - a global expedition.
8. What's the last show that surprised you?
NE6.
9. Saxons, One Family, Valley Boys or Roots?
Whoever wins!!!
10. If you had to be stranded on one Family Island which one would it be?
Abaco.
11. What's the most memorable artwork you've ever seen?
Nature.
12. Which artist do you have a secret crush on?
None.
13. If you could have lunch with anyone, who would it be?
Barack Obama.
14. Who do you think is the most important Bahamian in the country's history?
Sir Lynden Pindling.
15. Who is your favorite living artist?
I don't have a favorite living artist.
16. Sunrise or Sunset?
Sunset.
17. What role does the artist have in society?
All artists are different and will always have individual perspectives and interests. Generally speaking, I believe that the artist uses his knowledge of color, shape, form etc., combined with his understanding of the psychological effects of the aforementioned to evoke specific reactions from the viewers of his creative work: to invite them into the world as he sees it or that he has conjured up. The artist's role in society is to, at times, represent the reality of their landscapes (social, political, spiritual etc), to act as catalysts to change those environments by addressing pertinent issues, to create other worlds, to escape these realities, to spiritually heal the broken and downtrodden, to awaken the latent consciousness of the people and to help thrust them into the future. I can claim therefore, that the artist is: psychologist, theologian, politician, friend, lover, criminal, ombudsman, arbitrator, historian, documentarian and scientist.
18. What's your most embarrassing moment?
Falling flat on my face in public.
19. What wouldn't you do without?
I couldn't do without freedom of expression and rights.
20. What's your definition of beauty?
Beauty is a very subjective concept borne out of understanding/misunderstanding and therefore has a tendency to change upon enlightenment. Beauty is not just a physical characteristic; it exists on many levels of consciousness. For me, beauty is functionality at full potential, efficiently operating for the purpose in which one was designed. In this way everything has a unique purpose and balance. The more this potential is fulfilled the more the cycle of life is allowed to progress healthily. There is beauty in everything and everyone; we just have to learn how it exists relatively. For me "beauty" is a colorless light of understanding.
20 QUESTIONS
Artist Holly Parotti answers this week's 20 Questions from Guardian Arts & Culture.
1. What's been your most inspirational moment in the last five years?
In 2011, I was named one of the Royal Over Seas League's Visual Arts Scholars. I spent five weeks in Arbroath, Scotland and London. Having the opportunity to focus entirely on my work with no interference was invigorating. Strangely, inspiration came when I was leaving to return to The Bahamas. I felt a sense of accomplishment and validation knowing that that body of work was the beginning of much more to come.
2. What's your least favorite piece of artwork?
This would probably be any attempt I have made at creating a three dimensional object. The only exceptions to this rule are my books. Any other concept involving height by width by depth is a bad idea from inception.
3. What's your favorite period of art history?
Postmodernism. But standing in front of something from the Impressionists or Post-Impressionists isn't all that bad either.
4. What are your top 5 movies of all time?
Seven, Snatch, The Godfather Part I, The Godfather Part II and Mary Poppins.
5. Coffee or tea?
Coffee, preferably espresso.
6. What book are you reading now?
"The Photographer's Eye" and "The Accidental Masterpiece".
7. What project are you working on now?
I purchased a camera with all the trimmings so that I can expand my portfolio with more video/digital projects. I'm presently learning how to use the camera properly and to my advantage. The manual is an inch thick. Yes, this would definitely qualify as a project.
8. What's the last show that surprised you?
Alexander McQueen's 2011 "Savage Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. What little I knew about the exhibition suggested that it was about a selection of clothing from McQueen's past collections. By my own fault, I was poorly informed. The experience was visceral. I think the only sense not present was smell. I have the catalogue but I refuse to remove the plastic wrapping. I want to preserve that experience for as long as possible. So in the interim, I look at the images online.
9. Saxons, One Family, Valley Boys or Roots?
Valley Boys, without the politics.
10. If you had to be stranded on one Family Island which one would it be?
Mather's Cay, Exuma. My family spent many holidays there. On occasion I have such vivid memories that for a just a moment my childhood floods in. In that split second everything is peaceful. It is the very definition of what makes The Bahamas unique and beautiful. Being stranded there with little human contact would make it my paradise. I see that the island is available to purchase for $12M. I suppose I should start a savings account.
11. What's the most memorable artwork you've ever seen?
Anish Kapoor's "Svayambh" at the Royal College of Art in London. However, when I'm in London, I always try to see Jan Van Eyck's "Portrait of a Man" at the National Gallery.
12. Which artist do you have a secret crush on?
Errrrr... John Cox.
13. If you could have lunch with anyone who would it be?
Luigi Parotti, my great grandfather.
14. Who do you think is the most important Bahamian in the country's history?
I don't think that I am in any way qualified to answer this question.
15. Who is your favorite living artist?
Alfredo Jaar and Bjork (I would argue that she is a performance artist). I have trouble with favorites or singling out just one of anything (notice my answer to question #11). I try to find balance with everything.
16. Sunrise or Sunset?
Sunset.
17. What role does the artist have in society?
I apologize for answering this question with someone else's words, but Edgar Degas said, "Art is not what you see but what you make others see." Artists possess the ability to present unique perspectives on the everyday existence. The creative intellect is necessary to cultivate imagination and ideas. On the one hand, it is the job of the artist to make these ideas visible and acceptable (or unacceptable) to others while at the same time challenging convention and monotony.
18. What's your most embarrassing moment?
I remember faces without fail. Names...not so much. When I am talking to someone that clearly knows me, more often than not I'm struggling to remember their name and/or where I have met them. I'm rarely embarrassed, so it's difficult to remember anything significant.
19. What wouldn't you do without?
However, my most embarrassing moment should be admitting that I wouldn't want to do without my iPhone (sigh). On a less materialistic note, I wouldn't want to do my without my family. More specifically, I couldn't nor wouldn't do without my sister Lynn. She keeps me grounded.
20. What's your definition of beauty?
I don't think I can effectively explain the concept of beauty in words unfortunately. I would best describe it as when I look at Leonardo da Vinci's "Virgin and Child" with Saint Anne and Saint John the Baptist.
20 Questions
1. What's been your most inspirational moment in the last five years?
I would have to say, working with artist and blacksmith Tyrone Ferguson in his shop/studio a few weeks ago. It was an absolute wonder to see a slab of metal being transformed through heating and hammering into a work of art... It felt like magic... and I participated in the process. Wow!
2. What's your least favorite piece of artwork?
One of my own works. It is a landscape I painted while I was attending The College of The Bahamas. It was an "Over-the-Hill" scene in the manner of Eddie Minnis. The piece failed on too many levels for me, and I also recognized it was not me.
3. What's your favorite period of art history?
Paleolithic.
4. What are your top 5 movies of all time?
1. Like water for chocolate
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. The Green Mile
4. Drunken master
5. Smile Orange
5. Coffee or tea?
Both, but, not at the same sitting.
6. What book are you reading now?
"Rosa Lee" by Leon Dash.
7. What project are you working on now?
I am still working with the ideas developed around the piece "Mobile Housing Scheme" that's in the NE6: "Kingdom Come". I am also investigating concrete as a medium.
8. What's the last show that surprised you?
I would have to say NE6! The majority of the work felt really considered and mature.
9. Saxons, One Family, Valley Boys or Roots?
One Family! I answer this way only because you framed the question this way, but Junkanoo, because in its infancy it was a defiant/rebellious creature that did not quietly recoil into the dark. It has been co-opted and packaged as pretty. It has been asked to shed its soul, hold still, remove the mask and smile. Flash! Oh boy, the camera has changed Junkanoo in ways deeper than the masses care to imagine. Even so, the red hot embers of rebellion are still there. You catch it almost as a marginal, peripheral experience. You have to wait long for it and be wide awake 'cause it's minor and fleeting but present.
10. If you had to be stranded on one Family Island which one would it be?
Andros. It's big enough for one to have a lifetime of discoveries on those shores and in those bushes.
11. What's the most memorable artwork you've ever seen?
Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delight".
12. Which artist do you have a secret crush on?
Belkis Ayón, Cuban printmaker.
13. If you could have lunch with anyone who would it be?
Frank Gehry. 'Cause at one time I wanted to be an architect, and if I'd had the experience of seeing his work at that time, I would have followed that path. He exploded the box and built concrete and steel structures that look malleable. I may have ended up right where I am today, but that could well have been my beginning.
14. Who do you think is the most important Bahamian in the country's history?
Pick any good educator!
15. Who is your favorite living artist?
Martin Puryear. His work is brilliant! I love the fact that he does not allow himself, the 'artist', to color the audience's experience of the work.
16. Sunrise or Sunset?
Sunrise.
17. What role does the artist have in society?
To create imagery/metaphors that offers experiences of critique, wonderment, joy and escape.
18. What's your most embarrassing moment?
Can't remember... I think I may have been so traumatized by it, I blocked it out but I am due for another moment anytime now.
19. What wouldn't you do without?
Creating.
20. What's your definition of beauty?
Sunrise!
