The release added that residency recognizes that storytelling in the Caribbean is often embodied and performative, and it seeks to harness this aspect to foster innovative ways of cultural expression.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond artistic exploration, An Ba Lanm\u00e8 underscores the power of narratives as catalysts for economic development.<\/p>\n<p>The group asserts that the way territories are perceived influences their economic prospects, and dominant tourism images are increasingly being challenged by the realities of climate change\u2014such as seaweed invasions, more frequent natural disasters, and coastal erosion.<\/p>\n<p>Along these lines, the shared environmental challenges highlight the collective destiny of Caribbean nations and their need for resilient, diversified economic models. The project advocates for reimagining narratives to support sustainable development, emphasizing that the stories future generations carry will shape the region\u2019s resilience and growth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The L\u2019Orizon residency reinforces An Ba Lanm\u00e8\u2019s mission, which is to create a shared space of expression for Caribbean artists and to structure a sustainable cultural ecosystem. The creation of new narratives is first and foremost rooted in our ability to meet and connect. It emerges from the intersection of disciplines, perspectives, and talents from across the Caribbean. This diversity is essential to nourish, sustain, and ensure the longevity of a shared creative ecosystem, which represents a true lever for the development of our territories,&#8221; explains Nicolas Dern\u00e9 Artistic Director of Zofi Association.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_354841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-354841\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-354841 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3-642x428.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3-642x428.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ADELINERAPON-AnBaLanme-Presse-3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-354841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Adeline Rapon for An Ba Lanm\u00e8.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Throughout the residency, participants will engage with critical themes related to Caribbean identity and future, namely, the Urgency of New Narratives, Decolonizing the Imaginary, Embodying Narratives, Transmitting Otherwise, and Youth.<\/p>\n<p>A series of workshops and cultural events will complement the collaborative work, including a movement workshop led by N\u2019jelle Thorne at Earthstrong Studio, an exhibition by the Waitukubili Artist Association, and a conference discussing the role of cultural and creative industries in Dominica\u2019s educational and economic landscapes.
