personal tour Artist Suelin Low Chew Tung offers a tour of her home island, Grenada, from beaches to hiking to the best place to buy local chocolate “Just drive all around the island” charles hossle, courtesy suelin low chew tung Born and bred in Trinidad, artist and writer Suelin Low Chew Tung moved to Grenada in 1988, and has become a mover and shaker in the art scene of her adopted home. As a Caribbean person of mixed heritage — Chinese, African, and Iberian — Low Chew Tung makes artworks that revolve around questions of identity, culture, history, and tradition, and take the form of mixed media painting, drawings, and collages. She also illustrates children’s books. A lover of travel, Low Chew Tung has participated in artist’s residencies all over the world, where she has successfully introduced Grenadian art and culture to broader audiences. One particular trip proved life-changing: in 2013, on a residency in Haiti, Low Chew Tung met the Haitian artist Jean Renel Pierre Louis (a.k.a. Prensnelo). Inspired to start her own residency programme in Grenada, Low Chew Tung invited Prensnelo, who ended up extending his stay — and the pair were married in July 2014. Together they now run San Souci Arts Studio (SSAS), which provides learning space, a gallery, and self-directed artists’ residencies, ranging in length from two weeks to a month. These residencies help promote transnational creative exchanges, and allow visiting artists time to undertake new work in visual arts and writing. In her spare time, Low Chew Tung attempts to grow pakchoi, and enjoys getting together with her family (all thirty of them) for marathon lunches. Here’s her personal tour of Grenada. 60 WWW.CARIBBEAN-BEAT.COM
Start with a swim “I prefer to swim at Morne Rouge — the smaller bay is close to the world-famous Grand Anse, but I prefer its serenity for recharging. “Other beaches I love: La Sagesse, with its black sand, and Paradise Beach in Carriacou.” Wilmar Photography/Alamy WWW.CARIBBEAN-AIRLINES.COM 61
