Freedoms Imagined; Freedoms Won: Long Celia & Elizabeth Jane Trusty
On Through August 2026
Freedom in the Cayman Islands was not a single moment, but a gradual process shaped by resilience and resistance. Through the lives of Elizabeth Jane Trusty and Long Celia, this exhibition explores how freedom was first imagined and pursued, even before it was realised.
