Kevon Foderingham

With almost 20 years of local, regional and international work experience in the hospitality, education, creative and non-profit sectors - over the years I've been involved with and led several projects in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean that have provided a foundation for arts and culture practitioners. One of these foundations made manifest into physical form is EAST YARD - East Trinidad’s foremost arts hub, which I founded in 2017. Passionate about the arts, with a belief in the power of education and a mission to connect people; In 2020 I launched a global platform created to support cultural diplomacy, build the capacity of cultural practitioners and promote social change through the arts, aptly dubbed For Common Good. Over the past seven years, I have also designed my own line of men’s fashion and jewelry. I use my professional experience in marketing and communications and life coach training in my personal brand visioning practice - helping creative practitioners find and amplify the essence of their personal brands. It is this brand visioning work, in particular, that has been informing my socially engaged art practice dubbed 'The I AM Experiment.'
