This collage showcases several public monuments and artistic displays in St. John’s, Antigua, highlighted in James Knight’s letter, “What Fresh CHOGM Eyes Will See.” On the left is a sculpture at Country Pond depicting an adult male, female and child playing mas, representing Antigua’s Carnival traditions. The upper centre and right images show stone displays bearing the names Antigua and Barbuda, while the bottom right features a monument honouring Sir Vere Cornwall Bird Sr., Antigua and Barbuda’s Father of the Nation and National Hero. The images accompany Knight’s concerns about the appearance, maintenance and artistic presentation of public monuments ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
