Curatorial Statement

Island Soul showcases, explores and documents how age-old regional arts, music and cultural practices survive, mutate, thrive or are threatened in the face of technology ? from dubplate to download, old school to new. Within the creolized cultures of the Caribbean lie numerous cultural community subgroups whose artistic contributions to the region's profile are immeasurable. In light of that, we showcase a series featuring African and Indo-Caribbean culinary, music, and dance rituals as a means to re-discover the identity of African and Indo Caribbean persons as a fragment of the Caribbean Diaspora in Toronto. In the Caribbean culinary arts tradition, we supplement our food programme with a special selection showcasing the unique vegetarian cuisine communities promoted by vegans and Rastafarian culture groups.
