DOONGALIK STUDIOS CURATES SECOND DISPLAY AT LPIA UNDER THE

THEME BAHAMIAN PRIDE
After a successful first installment in April, Doongalik Studios is pleased to present the latest installation to the twelve display
cases at the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) comprising five upright showcases in the U.S. Departure Lounge,
and seven wall showcases in the downstairs interstitial arrival corridors.
The theme for this period from July-September is Bahamian Pride and was curated just in time for the countrys 43rd anniversary of Independence. Showcasing with pride the countrys flag colours and national symbols, the displays feature the
superb work of 58 artists and artisans who are thanked once again for their amazing pieces of art! Androsia, the well-known
Bahamian fabric factory located in Andros, which has been producing colourful handmade batik fabrics since Independence
in 1973, is also highlighting its history which has passed down through three generations of the Birch family. The public is
reminded that if it doesn't say Androsia it wasnt handmade in The Bahamas.
All of the products displayed are available for sale, and more detailed information can be found on the Doongalik website
www.doongalik.com under LPIA.
