Kerri-Anne Chisholm is a cultural practitioner, curator, and researcher dedicated to social justice. Raised in the Cayman Islands, her ancestral ties to Jamaica, Cuba and Scotland inform her views on multicultural Caribbean identity, cultural production, and postcoloniality.

Chisholm has developed exhibitions for the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands, the University of Oxford (UK), Tate Modern (UK), and creative projects within England and the Caribbean. She is currently finalising her PhD research at the University of Reading, examining the Caribbean yard as a companion to traditional exhibition spaces that facilitate identity negotiation, community dialogue and care, and infra-political resistance.

The magic of Cayman Art Week is that it creates vital partnerships that transition artists’ private practice into public dialogue. The expansive reach of this route connects the maritime heritage of the Brac with the immersive energy of George Town’s historic storefronts, private creative hubs, polished design studios, and social spaces. By activating these unconventional venues, this selection demonstrates how art can transform the way we experience our everyday environments.

The Vibe: Historic charm and handmade soul.
The Context: The Goodness Gallery is located in Goodness, a small shop with a massive local impact in central George Town. For CAW, this local favourite transforms into a pop-up gallery featuring the evocative works of artists and artisans, including Martina Jackson and Amrita Debnath. It is the perfect spot to experience the intersection of fine art and high-quality local craftsmanship.

• THE DIVINE FEMININE AT NEXT DOOR

Sip on specially curated cocktails and catch the live drum circle for a night that celebrates the "divine" through raw, collective energy.

• GORDON SOLOMON GALLERY & STUDIO (CAYMAN BRAC)
The Vibe: Maritime heritage meets contemporary soul.
