The Amulet Room

The Amulet Room brings together an eclectic group of artists whose practices span sculpture, painting, and mixed media, creating a dynamic dialogue between form and concept. From Saskia D’Aguilar’s monumental wall amulet grappling with the politics of migration and belonging, to Joann Behagg’s intimate clay figures capturing Bahamian womanhood, the works on display push viewers to consider both the personal and the political. Alongside them, Anina Major explores the policing of women’s bodies, while Tessa Whitehead’s surreal landscape maps her emotional world. John Cox adds another dimension with his mixed-media painting that transforms ordinary objects into meditation. Interwoven with these works are pieces by artists who blur the line between fine art and craft, including Morgan McKinney’s hand-carved wooden forms, Tyrone Ferguson’s forged metalworks, and John Beadle’s multifaceted practice, all of which expand the room into a space of material experimentation and storytelling. Together, these artists create an environment that resists categorization, where ceramics sit beside steel, wood speaks to paint, and found objects converse with canvas, resulting in a layered showcase of Bahamian creativity that honors heritage while embracing reinvention.
