Local designer Ryan Chan has just released an adult colouring book. You know that I’m obsessed with them. Especially Caribbean colouring books.

I went to see Dr. Kevin Adonis Browne’s ‘A Sense of Arrival’ at Medulla yesterday (May 6th). It is, for him, a re-visiting of a theme he first explored in 2022, also at Medulla. I attended the launch then and remembered being blown away by the exhibit. You see at that point I had known…
