The Embassy of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in Panama, is proud to celebrate a meaningful milestone in cultural exchange between Trinidad and Tobago and Panama!
We were honoured to welcome Mrs. Anika Plowden-Corentin in Panama, a talented artist from Trinidad and Tobago and founder of Chosen Hands, an NGO that uses art to empower vulnerable communities. Exhibiting pieces of her artwork in the International Exhibition “Preface - Panama Chapter 2025” marks Trinidad and Tobago’s first-ever contribution to this event.
With the support of Ms. Aleah Guitan, Director of Trinitica International, Ms. Plowden brought a delegation of 14 art students from St. Francois Girls College and Queen’s Royal College and 3 adults to take part in an Art Immersion Programme — participating in an art workshop at the Center for Arts and Culture in Colón with La Escuela de Bellas Artes Colón, exploring museums, galleries, the Panama Canal and Casco Viejo, and connecting with the rich cultural tapestry of Panama.
Special thanks to the Gala Galería de Arte Latinoamericano for their collaboration in amplifying this exchange. This initiative is just the beginning of a broader Cultural Diplomacy project between Trinidad and Tobago and Panama.
Art is a universal language — one that unites, inspires, and builds lasting bridges between nations. -Corentin
