Cayfest 2013

All the reasons we

andand

in the Cayman Islands! in the Cayman Islands!23 FEBRUARY 2013

Here in the Cayman Islands we are a multi-talented set of individuals who write, paint, dance, make movies and express ourselves with flare! The Cayman Islands National Festival of the Arts, Cayfest, aims to provide a forum in which Cayman’s finest can showcase their unique talents in a manner that all can share and embrace. Cayfest is a colourful mix of visual and literary arts, music, theatre, film, fashion design, and cultural discussion, with an emphasis on local culture. One of our most inspiring national events, it aims to enrich the local art world and the general public’s awareness of art. As usual this year’s festival will shine a spotlight on the many talents that can sometimes otherwise lie hidden amongst our shores. It also includes a diverse range of participants. Though small, the Cayman Islands is a multi-cultural society in which people from different backgrounds interact, and share their enjoyment of many different mediums and cultural experiences from around the region and around the world. This has created fertile soil for Caymanian culture to grow, and allows us to present to you a rich array of talent. Highlights of past festivals include: the ever-popular Travelling Caribbean Film Showcase (TCFS), the National Arts & Culture Awards, Café Cayman, the Historical Treasure Hunt and the work of countless local artists and arts organisations. Cayfest has come from small beginnings, just as our Islands did. It was a small idea with a lot of heart. As Minister for Health, Environment, Youth, Sports and Culture, I am proud to share this wonderful cultural kaleidoscope with the public. We look forward to seeing each of you at the many events that have been organised through-out the festival!

Chairman’s GreetingMartyn CW Bould MBE

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Cayfest, now in its nineteenth year, showcasing the diversity of our cultural talents and demonstrating those things that make us uniquely Caymanian. Of course, any country’s culture is not static or changeless. On the contrary, it is in a constant state of flux, influencing and being influenced by other cultures. A country’s culture therefore reflects its history, mores, institutions and attitudes, its social movements, conflicts and struggles. At the same time it is dynamic and continually evolving. And so the Cayfest line up this year mirrors the development of our multicultural community, which now includes more than 130 nationalities and, to reflect this, we are presenting the second year of Dress for Culture Day to raise awareness of the diversity of our society, and as importantly, to raise funds for CNCF’s many youth programmes including Young At Arts, Young Image Makers, Summer Arts Camp and Grants for the Arts.

An exciting event new to Cayfest this year is the Red Sky at Night Festival, transforming the Harquail centre stage into a celebration of music, dance, storytelling, arts & crafts, film, and, of course, delicious Caymanian food!!! All this is topped off by a Historical Treasure Hunt in Bodden Town, hosted by the Department of Tourism, and of course, the 19th Annual Arts & Culture Awards, where we honour members of our community for their invaluable contributions to the development and preservation of arts and culture. I wish to thank our hardworking and dedicated staff, our volunteers and particularly our sponsors for making Cayfest possible and continuing the tradition of showcasing all that is Caymanian for the enjoyment of all. Please Enjoy!!!

Artistic Director’s GreetingHenry Muttoo MBE, MA

It is so important that we acknowledge the contribu-tions of artists, corporate contributors and volunteers to the work of CNCF and, by extension, to arts and cultural development, preservation and celebration in the Cayman Islands. When one sees a stage production such as our most recent offering, “Doubt”, or shares in our enduring presentations, Cayfest and Gimistory; when one hears the beautiful voices of our folk singers; reads our arts journals, the plays of Dr. Frank McField or the poetry of Leonard Dilbert or Nasaria Suckoo-Chollette; when one passes by Miss Lassie’s deceptively simple wattle and daub home, experiences her paintings or enjoys the music of Mr. Radley and Aunt Julia Hydes, one may not ever stop to think of the cost. Yet, none of it, nothing the Cayman National Cultural Foundation does, could be possible were it not for the tremendous contributions

of our artists, sister organisations, sponsors, volunteers and audiences. This festival, therefore, is less about CNCF and more about celebrating the people who either make the organisation work in the first-rate manner it does, or whose work contributes to Cayman’s artistic and cultural evolution. We wholeheartedly acknowledge, thank and laud our artists, culture makers, sponsors and volunteers who weave their individual strands of endeavour into the whole thatch plait that is us.

The arts are a fundamental building block to education and academic achievement. Programmes such as this build on our children’s overall development, self-esteem and self-confidence, and provide a positive outlet for them after school and during the holidays. Butterfield encourages appreciation and exploration of the arts and is pleased to support our national foundation in this huge undertaking."Rebecca L Ebanks, Marketing & Communications at Butterfield

Alberto EstevanovichOriginally from Costa Rica, Alberto Estevanovich moved to Grand Cayman in 1970. He came on board as a CNCF volunteer in 2005, and has proven to be an important member of the team for such events, festivals and initiatives as Gimistory, Rundown, Cayfest, Save Miss Lassie’s House, the National Arts & Culture Awards, Travelling Caribbean Film Showcase and more recently, the production of “Doubt”. Alberto’s 40 plus years in the hospitality industry have proven invaluable, as he often handles the management of the CNCF bar and any food and beverage related responsibilities during shows and festivals.

Sponsor Of The Year

Winston SalmonWinston James Salmon was born in England and has been residing in the Cayman Islands for over 30 years. He is a trained science teacher and accountant and is a passionate lover of all aspects of the arts. Winston never says ‘No’ and has volunteered consistently during the past year at Gimistory, Miss Lassie’s House, the production of “Doubt”, in the CNCF office, the Harquail Theatre costume room… to name just a few. Always enthusiastic, it’s our pleasure to recognise Winston as Volunteer of the Year for the second year in a row!

Volunteer Of The Year

In 2012, CNCF continued to attract new volunteers year-round by offering a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, both in the office and at special events. Alberto Estevanovich and Winston Salmon were chosen by CNCF staff as "Volunteers of the Year" because they could both be called upon to reliably and consistently answer every call, sometimes at very short notice and sometimes for every single night when a production was on stage.

Dress for Culture Day was first held in May 2012, and returns this year as a featured event in the Cayman Islands National Festival of the Arts, Cayfest. The dress up / dress down fundraiser highlights the virtual kaleidoscope of cultures that co-exist and work together in the Cayman Islands, and confirms our commonalities which can be embraced and appreciated. There can be any number of variations to participate in Dress for Culture Day, depending on the type of business or organisation. Participants can show expressions of their culture by wearing their national colours, or an item that demonstrates something specific and special to their culture, such as sports pins, caps and the like. Whether you are a Canadian who loves to sport your favourite hockey jersey, an Indian who enthusiastically wears a piece of colourful sari fabric or a Caymanian who displays intricate embroidery or smocking on their clothing, Dress for Culture Day is for everyone to indulge in. For those who prefer something simpler, donning a tie or other piece of clothing with national colours, or in the case of an office, decorating a section of the workspace with photos and mementos to show the various cultures represented in the organisation, is a perfectly good way to celebrate. For some, sharing culinary delights from near and far can also be a real treat on Dress for Culture Day. Of course, the ultimate goal is to raise funds for the youth and arts programmes of the Cultural Foundation and a straightforward monetary donation in any amount from staff and businesses would be greatly appreciated. To make the most of the initiative, though, participants are encouraged to add some cultural elements in order to emphasise "Cultures working together for the benefit of Cayman's Culture". We suggest $3 for students and $5 for adults, so join us as we work together for the benefit of Cayman’s Culture!

THE CAYMAN ISLANDS DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM (DOT) aims to protect the environment, support the economy, promote the Islands as a premier destination for visitors and also, to support local businesses and business people.

The Hunt will be held in the district of Bodden Town at the Coe Wood Beach from 9am – 12pm.

THE CAYMAN ISLANDS NATIONAL ARCHIVE (CINA) enables good record keeping across the public sector and manages, preserves, and provides access to the documentary heritage of the Cayman Islands. The CINA display at the “Red Sky at Night” festival will highlight just some of the unique pieces held in the Historical Collection. The fascinating and emotive images on display will provide a mere glimpse into Cayman’s past. As noted by Capt. Keith Tibbetts, “I’ll always remember them…the men, turning it with handles and singing the songs. It comes to my mind regularly one of the songs they were singing, ‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’. That used to be a very popular song on the island in those days. I fancy I can hear them singing that now.” Visit www.cina.gov.ky for more information on CINA and how you can access Cayman’s documented heritage. 10

Fast-forward to January 2013 and it’s no surprise that Dane is now entering his 9th consecutive year in the radio business. From “Dane’s Backyard” on dms’ X107.1FM to “The Wakeup Shakeup” on Selecta Renegade’s Star 92.7FM, Dane has steadily made a name for himself as a radio personality and show host.

Aston Ebanks is a self-taught Conceptual artist. His passing interest in photography became a passionate hobby when he moved to Switzerland in 1997. Aston spent seven years living between Grand Cayman and Switzerland, and even did a one year stint in Western Samoa living in a Faley (a traditional hut). Travelling not only expanded Aston’s under-standing of the world, but it also defined him as an artist. With projects such as “The Maze”, a site specific installation constructed out of three thousand recycled wooden shipping pallets, and “The Faley”, an ongoing permanent installation constructed out of the invasive Australian pine, Aston continues to cross mediums and challenge the vernacular. In addition to these independent projects, Aston continues to work closely with the

National Gallery of the Cayman Islands, as an outreach Art Instructor at Her Majesty’s Prison Northward and Caribbean Haven, the Government funded Drug Rehabilitation Center.

Rose May Ebanks, like her mother Mrs. Rosalind, has devoted her life to keeping the tradition of thatch plaiting alive in the Cayman Islands.

in 2003 and last year, she received a Gold Star for Creativity in the Arts at the 18th Annual Arts and Culture Awards. Rose May Ebanks will have her work on display along “Penny Lane” at the “Red Sky at Night” festival.
