In 2014, the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) mounted “Creation’s Grace,” a Minnis Family Retrospective featuring Ward’s father, celebrated Bahamian artist Eddie Minnis. It also included his sisters, Nicole and Shan and Eddie’s son-in-law Ritchie Eyma.
Ward was not invited. Not contacted. Not included.
In this episode Ward finally has the conversation he was owed – interviewing the three principals behind the exhibition.
What he finds is a trail of shifting justifications, convenient memory lapses, and a smoking gun hiding in plain sight.
But this episode isn’t just about Ward’s exclusion. It’s about what else got erased – and why that matters for every Bahamian.
