Barbados Needs Its Own Creative Stage | Barbados News

George Cox, an art teacher and filmmaker, is urging Barbados to invest in local creative ecosystems by building more platforms for artists and filmmakers to showcase their work at home. He argues that without consistent opportunities, talent goes untapped — even as his own daughter succeeds abroad in film. Cox highlights the lack of airtime for local productions on national TV and points to Trinidad, Jamaica, and St. Vincent as models where Caribbean creativity thrives. He commends grassroots efforts like Sherridean Carmichael’s gallery and insists traditional media remains vital for telling authentic Barbadian stories — with criticism and community exposure being key to growth.
