This October, Artistic Islands Programming will welcome Botanique Studios of Antigua and Barbuda, in collaboration with The Water’s Edge Museum of Maryland, USA, to present the Heritage Seedwork Seminar in Dublin.
Each seminar will begin with a three-minute film tracing the history and cultural meaning of the art, followed by guided practice using a specially prepared kit.
The collaboration with The Water’s Edge Museum, represented by co-directors Ja’Lyn Hicks and Sara Amber Marie Park, highlights the shared mission to preserve and promote heritage that transcends borders. Together, Botanique and The Water’s Edge bring forward narratives that celebrate creativity, resilience, and identity.
Workshops will run from October 3–5, mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A special illustrated lecture, “The Beauty of Antigua’s Intangible Cultural Heritage” will be presented by the Antiguan delegation— hosted in Dublin Castle’s State Apartments at 6:30 pm on Saturday evening, October 4.
