Cultures of Climate

Town Island Exhibition Catalogue

Through textiles, sculpture, video, and painting, Matheson examines themes of place, identity, belonging and drawing on the 1950's migration of Carriacou's people to Britain. Building on cultural connections, Matheson has been able to develop his practice and engage with local communities in Huddersfield, UK and Carriacou, Grenada, through a series of research workshops. 

Key themes included culture, migration, the history of windrush and the recent environmental and community destruction cause by hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean.
