Honourable Patricia Scotland, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth; Antiguan born businessman and philanthropist Sir Mark Moody-Stuart; neurosurgeon Caitlin Hoffman who analysed his archive and medical condition; Rastafarian Marcus Nakbar Crump who interviewed Walter as a community activist; relation and former Minister of Tourism and Economic Development Sir Selvyn Walter; and Kenneth M.

Coinciding with Antigua and Barbuda’s National Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2019, Find Yourself is an exploration of Carnival as an act of resistance. Paying homage to the earliest uprisings in Antigua and Barbuda, art merges with intangible cultural heritage to create contemporary statements on social justice, or the lack thereof.

Frank Walter’s painted and sculpted masks, and his photographic documentation of Antiguans, both in daily life and attending Carnival celebrations is presented for the first time to an international audience.

Distinguished contributors to the catalogue include the Honourable E. P. Chet Greene Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade; Nina Khrushcheva; Luigi di Marzi; The Honourable Daryll Matthew, Commissioner and Minister of Sports, Culture, Festivals, and the Arts, Antigua and Barbuda; Barbara Paca; and Marco Pianegonda.
