Update: Voices Of The Pandemic

Watch The Teaser Video

Voices Of The Pandemic is a project by artist and filmmaker Milton Raposo, founder of Method Media and former deputy chair of the Bermuda Arts Council, which explores life in Bermuda amid the coronavirus outbreak and its effect on our communities. His previous projects include FABRIC: Portuguese History In Bermuda and Osbourne’s Day Out: North Rock Tank to North Rock.

The making of the film, which is part of the 2020 Bermuda Biennial programming, continues as the pandemic persists across the globe. 

As we enter Phase 4 of the reopening of Bermuda and the community braces itself for the impact of the arrival of the first tourists in almost four months, we take a first look at the documentary and the tales told so far.

Best Of Bermuda Awards

Winners On Display At BNG

The winners of The Bermudian‘s 30th annual Best of Bermuda Awards, which were voted for by the public, have been announced. Congratulations to 2020 Bermuda Biennial artists Jayde Gibbons who won Best Photographer and NOBODY for Best Visual Artist. 

See works from both of the artists in Let Me Tell You Something, the2020 Bermuda Biennial which is on display at the BNG until the end of this year. Jayde’s striking black and white photography montage All The Kings Men provides an intimate look at brotherhood in Bermuda while NOBODY’s     I-ANK-Forget is bold digital collage that calls for public art as a means of protest. 

The Bermuda Biennial, organised by the Bermuda National Gallery and  sponsored by Bacardi Limited, is a critical platform for Bermuda’s contemporary art community. The exhibition, which is now in its 14th iteration, continues to represent the excellence of local contemporary art and brings Bermudian artists the opportunity to engage in an internationally juried process.
