ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada – Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park at the Molinere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area will soon receive two installments of sculptures as part of plans to transform and develop the underwater attraction.
The first installment was locally made in Grenada, and a team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States recently visited the production site at Prickly Bay Marina to witness the creative process.
The second installment was designed in the United Kingdom by renowned sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor who created the first installations back in 2006.
The new instalments will feature cultural elements such as the Jab Jab and the Shortknee which will contribute to strengthening the subsea and biodiversity while enhancing Grenada’s tourism product.
The park was designed in 2007 by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, who later created similar installations around the world.
The Underwater Sculpture Park in Grenada has been listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic.
The sculpture features a group of children, 26 in all – holding hands.
They are positioned in a circle, and there are varying interpretations for this work of art.
Some say it represents the circle of life, while others say that the children represent slaves thrown off ships so many years ago.
