As if watching a moving diorama of old from Right to Left, on this large scale canvas, Pen Cayetano stages the genocide, banishment, landing, and migration of the Garinagu (Garifuna people). In the Right background, the fleet of British and French ships destroy St. Vincent, the land of the Garinagu. In the Right midground, the Garinagu, now chained, and whipped by the silhouettes of British and French soldiers, march to be loaded onto the ships in their subsequent banishment to Roatan and the genocidal banishment to the barren Baliceaux. In the Center mid-ground, the Garinagu’s boats navigate the Caribbean Sea looking for new livable land. In the Left foreground, all shapes creeds and heroes of the Garinagu have arrived in Dangriga, Belize, November, 19th 1832 in what is known as The Landing or Yuremein (Our Homeland). In the Left background, Cayetano goes further to show the Garinagu setting their eyes on industrial cities, continuing today’s Afro-Caribbean diaspora. November 19th is one of the most important holidays in Belize. Belizeans across the globe have huge celebrations like LA and New York. It is a celebration of the memory of the unbending strength of soul of an oppressed peoples, their spiritual and cultural survival, and the brilliance of the seafaring navigations that saved the existence of a nation. Today, the Yurumein is reenacted all along the coastal territories where the Garinagu settled. It’s celebrated in Nicaragua also on November 19th, Honduras on April 12th, and Guatemala on November 26th.

The work of Pen & Ingrid Cayetano. Belize culture, history, and its peoples painted by the country’s foremost artists. PEN CAYETANO Pen Cayetano is the creator of Punta Rock now played throughout the entire Central America and the Caribbean! Pen and Ingrid Cayetano have spent their lifetime as artists, using their painted works and music, teaching and sharing Belize’s culture, peoples, and the country’s founding history. Their works have been on display at the Mexican Embassy, the Museum of Belize, and other museums and galleries across the Caribbean like St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as Germany, UK, and New York. “Cayetano is an internationally recognized artist whose paintings form part of Belize’s National Collection.” - First American Art Magazine “These are the marks of genius — the true and universal artist.” - Belize Travel Magazine Pen Cayetano, near being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, holds the MBE (Most Excellent Order of The British Empire) for his outstanding contributions to Belizean popular culture and arts. INGRID CAYETANO Born in 1956 in Ahrweiler, Germany, Ingrid studied art at the University of Applied Sciences for Art & Design in Cologne, Germany. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Serendipitously, a lover of Belizean art and culture, Mrs. Cayetano visited Belize before early 1981, just before Belize won its independence. Employed with the Chamber of Commerce, she was able to place her work in its current art expo, and would later form a relationship with Pen Cayetano built on the foundation of Belize art, food and music. She would quickly become the first manager for the Turtle Shell Band, the group that created the now famous genre of Punta Rock. Ingrid’s art is mostly in the medium of Needle and Thread on Fabric. Whether the subject is objectively cultural or subjectively emotional, she invariably manages to stitch life into an otherwise lifeless, mundane scrap of cloth. She has drawn inspiration from the Garifuna experience and also created her own designs, and has refined different motifs in her art. Her creations are inspired and linked to the artist’s surroundings like ‘mother and child’ scenes, portraits— especially extraordinary women, and presentation of cultural subjects like dances and rituals. Along with her son Ibo she wrote the children book stories “We Are Free” and “Wanaragua” which were illustrated by her daughter Malí. She offers various homemade food products under her brand “Ms Ingrid.
