Let Me Tell You Something

Bermuda National Gallery
The Bermuda Biennial, now in its 14th iteration, is a critical platform for Bermuda’s contemporary art community. Organised by the Bermuda National Gallery and sponsored by Bacardi Limited, the exhibition showcases the dynamism of local and international artists living on the island and serves as both an educational resource and a platform for programmes on art, culture, and dialogue.
This year’s theme, “Let Me Tell You Something,” is a passage from the late author and Nobel Laureate, Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved. In this 2020 Biennial, we are also shaped by Morrison’s inspiration:
“You are your own stories and therefore free to imagine and experience what it means to be human. The theme you choose may change or simply elude you, but being your own story means you can always change the tone. It also means that you can invent the language to say who you are and what you mean.” – Toni Morrisson, Commencement Address to the Wellesley College Class of 2004.
