transformed with some lovely works of art.” Legall was assisted by a team of three other artists: Glenroy Jordan, Rasheed Bradshaw and Rena King. He further stated “We’re all artists and we work from home … so I didn’t want to be on a project for too long so I brought in people to assist and get the job done.” In addition to Legall and his team, two other artists, Don Small and Walter Bailey, worked individually on other sections of the wall. The mural highlights the theme ‘Folk Characters of the Caribbean’, and features Mother Sally, the steel pan, the Tuk band, among others. “We wanted whatever we do to reflect the Caribbean reality because the university is not the University of Barbados, it is the University of the West Indies, and you have students… and lecturers that come from the various islands,” Legall noted. He added that the public has welcomed the latest addition to the area and he is hoping that phase two could begin soon. “This has created a lot of excitement. Most persons as they pass they blow their horns and tell us they like what is happening, and so with that kind of momentum it would be good to have it completed,” Legall said.
