A talented young artist recently had the pleasure of seeing his artwork come to life and prominently displayed in his village on the east coast of Demerara.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) yesterday informed that the government in partnership with residents of Victoria Village, East Coast Demerara, constructed and installed an emancipation arch in the community in recognition of the resilience, sacrifices, and indomitable spirit of African ancestors.
The arch, which was designed by a young resident of the village, 14-year-old, Kayden Meusa, was unveiled on Thursday evening, as part of the community’s Emancipa-tion Day activities. The young artist disclosed that he had conducted in-depth research on Victoria’s history to compile the design of the arch.
