How I remembered it…

Featuring: Frédéric Georges & Theodore Samuels

July 20 - August 18, 2024

📍Governor’s Island

“UNITY. COMMUNITY, FAMILY. Those have always been the words that resonate deepest with me when I think of my unparalleled love for my homeland.” – Frédéric Georges

“As I journey beyond its shores, this island's essence remains incomparable. Whether through its music, cuisine, art, or people, This land captivates like no other. A resilient spirit, forged from adversity into global renown, holds my heart steadfast. Nothing more exquisite than a nation that has triumphed against odds to shine as brightly as Jamaica.” – Theodore Samuels 

FORGOTTEN LANDS, in collaboration with I AM CaribBeing, is proud to present a show about picturing and finding our place back home in the way we left it. This show is a part of the larger conversation on similarities throughout our Caribbean countries in different moments of quiet, celebration, and unrest – highlighting the quotidian joy of our humanity.

📆: Opening Saturday, July 20 12-3pm thru Sun, August 18
📍: Caribbeing House on Governor’s Island (see directions)
