More from the An Ba Lanme Residency Project 2026! “The Caribbean remains trapped in imposed narratives: a tourist paradise, a territory of disasters, an open-air colonial museum. These stories freeze populations in a temporality that is not their own, in a perpetual present with no possible projection.Folklore becomes a trap when it locks people inside a fantasized authenticity, when living culture is reduced to dances for cruise ship passengers.Faced with this narrative capture, Caribbean Afrofuturism offers an escape route: reinvesting fiction not as a form of retreat but as a political act. It creates worlds where Caribbean people are no longer objects of history but its active subjects. This approach responds to an urgent necessity: producing new images and new narratives that short-circuit dominant representations. Speculative fiction thus becomes a tool of resistance, allowing artists to bypass colonial story frames and imagine other possible futures.”(From An Ba Lanme Curatorial Statement)Most Photos Credited to: Adeline Rapon, An ba Lanme project 2026 by @caapi_cottage_retreat

A beautiful look back at our An Ba Lanme Residency here at Caapi! In partnership with WAA @kubuliarts (Waitukubuli Artists Association), Waituciruqe and Association Zofi, bringing together artists and performers from Martinique, St Lucia and Dominica. It concluded the journey that moved from language to the sea, and from the sea to stories. This 9-day residency was a collaborative exploration that inspired new forms of movement, circus arts, photography, food, dance, poetry…always asking the essential question; What stories do Caribbean artists want to tell? Certainly, not the ones imposed from the outside, but the ones they choose to write for tomorrow. And for today.Curatorial statement from An Ba Lanme below: “The Caribbean remains trapped in imposed narratives: a tourist paradise, a territory of disasters, an open-air colonial museum.

Made with Love is a video series that celebrates the way food connects us to the land and to the people who came before us. Each episode follows culinary artist Yannick as he takes simple, natural ingredients grown right on the property and turns them into something unexpected, while still holding on to the traditions we grew up around.The series is less about recipes and more about the intention. Using what the earth gives you, respecting it, and finding new ways to tell old stories through food. Whether it’s something humble like plantain or something pulled straight from the garden, every dish is a reminder that creativity doesn’t mean forgetting the past; it means building on it.At its core, Made with Love is about local roots, quiet craftsmanship, and the idea that the most meaningful things are often made simply with care, patience, and love. by @caapi_cottage_retreat

🇲🇶 On nous a longtemps raconté la Caraïbe. Il est temps qu'elle se raconte elle-même. Dis-nous en commentaire : quel artiste caribéen devrait être dans cette résidence ? 🇩🇲🇱🇨 The Caribbean has long been told by others. It's time it told its own story. Tell us in the comments: which Caribbean artist should be part of this residency? Photos @adelinerapon pour An Ba Lanmè.@anbalanme est rendu possible grâce à @afd_france, Coréom, @prefet972, @fondationdefrance, @laguilde, @labodeshistoires, la DAC Martinique, @lastationculturelle, @twosaints, @kubuliarts & @zofi.fwi. by @caapi_cottage_retreat

Such a special moment at @caapi_cottage_retreat with our current Martinican artist-in-residence, @jking.prod ✨He shared his journey and let us get up close with his work, then took it even further with a hands-on workshop: creating the “Rorschach Tests by J-King” using his very unique technique.So much learning, creativity, and real connection in one afternoon. Thank you to everyone who came through 🤍📹 : by @shwvty🎶 : by @yannickdominic by @caapi_cottage_retreat
