The T&T Pho­to­graph­ic So­ci­ety, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Da­da and Projects, re­cent­ly host­ed a pho­to walk doc­u­ment­ing the rich ta­pes­try of pub­lic art in Port-of-Spain.

This col­lab­o­ra­tive ef­fort, de­signed to raise aware­ness and fos­ter ap­pre­ci­a­tion for pub­lic art, un­fold­ed in the heart of Port-of-Spain. The event saw a di­verse group of pho­tog­ra­phers and art en­thu­si­asts come to­geth­er to ex­plore and cap­ture the essence of var­i­ous pub­lic art in­stal­la­tions dot­ting the cityscape.

Par­tic­i­pants were guid­ed through a jour­ney that in­clud­ed vis­its to six promi­nent pub­lic art­works, such as the Con­quer­abia mur­al, Wood­ford Square Foun­tain and Stat­ue, the NALIS mur­al, Re­turn of Can­boulay Mas mur­al, Arise Eman­ci­pa­tion Stat­ue, and TSTT House mur­al.

Each stop pro­vid­ed a unique op­por­tu­ni­ty for at­ten­dees to delve in­to the his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance and artis­tic beau­ty of these cul­tur­al land­marks.

Va­lerie Tay­lor, rep­re­sent­ing Da­da and Projects, shared in­valu­able in­sights in­to the back­ground and con­text of each art­work, en­rich­ing the ex­pe­ri­ence for all par­tic­i­pants.

At­ten­dees were en­cour­aged to un­leash their cre­ativ­i­ty and cap­ture their in­ter­pre­ta­tions through the lens of their cam­eras, fos­ter­ing a deep­er con­nec­tion with the art and the com­mu­ni­ty it rep­re­sents.

Da­da and Projects is a T&T-based NGO that aims to ed­u­cate, ac­ti­vate, and fa­cil­i­tate the de­vel­op­ment and in­stal­la­tion of pub­lic art to help lift and trans­form com­mu­ni­ties.
