ARTIST Kishan Munroe opened a multi-disciplinary exhibition titled Swan Song of the Flamingo at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas last week.
“Swan Song” is a collaborative project that marries Munroe’s visual artistry with the work of other Bahamian and Cuban artists from various disciplines to shine a spotlight on a painful period in Bahamian history.
Munroe recruited Bahamian artists like Patricia Glinton Meicholas, Gavin McKinney, Obediah Michael Smith, Joann Callender, Cleophas Adderley, Sonia Farmer, Lee Callender and Cuban dancers Eduardo Blanco, Amaya Rodriquez to lend their talents to the project that memorialises the sinking of HMBS Flamingo of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force fleet on May 10, 1980. He also worked closely with the Defence Force to bring this project to life.
