A Message from our Team
In the wake of the recent U.S. election, we recognize the uncertainty it may bring to our community, as shifting political landscapes impact policies that affect us all. Caribbean communities across the diaspora are navigating these times, and we remain committed to creating spaces where our voices, histories, and identities are celebrated.
Our mission to champion Caribbean narratives, artists, critical thinkers, and placemakers is more important now than ever. Amid political change, we are dedicated to empowering cultural creators and fostering connections through transformative projects that highlight the richness of Caribbean heritage. As we move forward, we will continue amplifying Caribbean voices and fostering environments that ensure our legacies shape, inspire, and contribute to the global cultural dialogue.
In Solidarity,
The FORGOTTEN LANDS Team
