Welkom in Barbados
Onze reis naar Barbados – Als Keycaribe willen we altijd inspecteren of de panden op de hoogte zijn van de behoeften van onze klanten. Dus reizen we naar onze bestemmingen. Deze keer was het Barbados. Van Curaçao tot Barbados is er geen rechtstreekse vlucht. Het bestaat uit eilandhoppen en een 12 uur durende reisroute, maar het was de reis…

Barbados the Party Island
Barbados the Party Island
Barbados is known for being the birthplace of rum and the pop star Rihanna, as well as being the winter escape choice for celebs such as Simon Cowell and Wayne and Coleen Rooney. But believe me – there is so much more to this beautiful island.

Barbados Heritage District, honoring memory, land and spirit. Designed by world-renowned architect Sir David Adjaye. It will be built next to Newton Slave Burial Ground, the oldest and largest slave cemetery ever found in Barbados. The site will include a memorial, a museum, a global research center, and spaces for performances and reflection.It’s part of a national project called ROAD (Reclaiming Our Atlantic Destiny), which aims to reshape Barbados’identity and economy by making it a central place for learning about Atlantic slavery, from the Caribbean, not just from the West. Barbados actually holds the second largest collection of slave records after the UK. One key part of the project is to digitize these archives and give access to researchers, families, and future generations. But not everything has gone smoothly. Some activists, spiritual leaders, and museum workers protested the construction, saying it disrespected the sacred nature of the burial ground.Now, discussions are ongoing to create cultural and spiritual guidelines.There’s also talk of founding a spiritual university, in collaboration with Codrington College, to show how different faiths and traditions can live together. The Newton Burial Ground itself is powerful: about 1,000 enslaved people were buried there, between 1660 and 1820.They were laid to rest by their families and communities, often with rituals inspired by African traditions.It’s the only untouched slave cemetery ever excavated in the Caribbean.The artefacts and human remains found here tell us stories we couldn’t get from written documents alone. This project has the potential to transform how we understand slavery, heritage and identity. It also reminds us that healing history must include respect, spirit and the voices of the people.
My photos : Barbados, 2022
I created this blog to share resources about my research work and connect with others who are interested in the theme of African material culture in Caribbean. In a few days, I'll be heading to Barbados for a research mission. It's the most exciting part of the journey : being fully immersed in the field. I can't wait to share photos and moments with locals, researchers, and artists ! I also really want to share a few moments at the Rasta Temple, where an old Ras once taught me how to sculpt. I'm so looking forward to showing you all of this ! With Love.
