Circles of Time

Circles of Time: Ancestry, Memory, and Movement is a Contemporary Art Exploration of Generational Identity at the Mind's Eye Centre 

How does our heritage shape our perception of the world? The upcoming exhibition, Circles of Time: Ancestry, Memory, and Movement, invites viewers to explore the intricate tapestry of generational identity through a compelling collection of contemporary art films and mixed media installations. 

Opening on May 30th and running through August 30th, with an exclusive preview during Cayman Art Week on May 24th, Circles of Time presents a powerful lineup of works by renowned artists and creatives.

The contributing artists are Cera-Tan Kennaird, Nasaria Suckoo Chollette, Randy Chollette, Nicole Durrant, Kara Julian, Shemila Eden, and Bruce Gordon. 

Through poetic visuals and evocative narratives, the exhibition invites reflection on lineage and the transformative patterns we inherit. From experimental storytelling to polished documentary formats, each piece offers an intimate and layered exploration of ancestry, cultural memory, and the cyclical nature of personal discovery. 

Set against the backdrop of the Mind’s Eye Centre—the preserved historic home of Caymanian visionary artist Gladwyn K. Bush (“Miss Lassie”)—the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to engage with Cayman’s artistic and cultural legacy. The 140-year-old site offers visitors a deeper connection to the lived experiences of generations past. 

As part of the celebration during Cayman Art Week, Circles of Time pays tribute to Miss Lassie’s enduring impact, with highlights from her body of work featured at the National Museum, National Gallery, and permanently exhibited at the Mind’s Eye Centre.

Curated by Rory Marchant-Kelly and Rita Powell, the exhibition harmonizes the perspectives of both established and emerging voices, weaving together personal and collective histories that challenge and enrich our understanding of identity. 

Join us at the Mind’s Eye Centre for this immersive and thought provoking exhibition. Discover how your own personal narratives intersect with the broader human experience in Circles of Time—a cinematic journey into the stories we inherit, the traditions we reimagine, and the cycles we continue.
