  • We’re so excited ! #Repost @sheenaroseartist ・・・ Miami, FL – Sugarcane Magazine today announces artist Sheena Rose as guest editor for the Barbados-themed third issue of the publication’s print edition. Sheena Rose, a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist based in Barbados, will work with other artists, writers and performers to create an in depth exploration of Barbadian identity, culture, history, spirituality and gender. She envisions the magazine as a platform that allows the contributors to express themselves freely and share personal experiences that counter the tourist-destination narrative often dominated by stereotypes and clichés. Says Rose, “I want to show the depth of Barbados, show our truth. There is more to see than the beach and the sand. It may not always be a pretty image but we have much more to say. I am honored to share my experiences and I want people to read this magazine and discover more of the talent out there and get to know the depth of Barbados.” With its third edition in print, Sugarcane Magazine presents a creative portrait of Barbados, its arts community and cultural heritage that takes readers beyond the beaches. Intended to offer readers an insider’s view of the island and its creative and cultural heritage, the publication also very intentionally pushes forward the contemporary arts discourse in the Caribbean and includes the island in a larger conversation on contemporary art in the Americas. “This issue wipes away the sand and talks about the people of Barbados and their lives as creatives,” says Sugarcane founder and Editor in Chief Melissa Hunter-Davis. “I appreciate Sheena’s point of view and I wanted her to open up the island to me and those who admire her work.” Pre-orders are available starting April 29 for $15.
