Welcome to Artsy From Yard, a platform where Caribbean artists speak truth, explore passion, and redefine what it means to create from the islands and beyond. A bold new series celebrating unapologetic Caribbean creativity and the global diaspora. 🌴🔥

In our first episode, we sit down with Joy Celestine ( Hara Snuggles Quammie) — a visionary artist from St. Vincent and the Grenadines whose work explores identity, memory, and the emotional textures of Caribbean life. Through painting, sculpture, and storytelling, Joy reveals how art becomes both healing and resistance in post-colonial spaces.

✨ In this episode:
Joy talks about her creative journey and what inspires her work. The challenges and triumphs of being an artist in the Caribbean. Reflections on culture, womanhood, and reclaiming space through art

Welcome to the pilot episode of Cinematic SVG: Landscapes of Story, a series showcasing St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) as an epic, untapped film destination.

In "Volcanic Visions," we hike La Soufrière volcano, exploring its raw, prehistoric landscapes as a cinematic powerhouse—from solidified lava flows perfect for sci-fi and disaster films to sweeping views that inspired blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean and White Squall.

Filmmaking in the Caribbean thrives on unstable ground, blending adventure, history, and resilience. Join us as we share practical tips for indie shoots, gear recommendations, and why SVG offers affordable, diverse locations for your next project.

If you're a filmmaker, producer, or creative scouting spots, SVG's volcanic heart is calling—contact us for fixer services and collaborations.

Subscribe for more episodes diving into SVG's beaches, forts, waterfalls, and marine wonders.
