The Nobel Laureate Festival continues to foster a greater appreciation and awareness of the island’s Nobel Laureates among students, this time through a cultural exhibition at Walcott House.

Walcott House, at the corner of Chaussee Road and Grass Street in Castries, is the restored childhood home of Sir Derek and Roderick Walcott.

The exhibition, hosted by the Saint Lucia National Trust, includes paintings on "Ti Jean and His Brothers," a play written by the late playwright Roderick Walcott; and displays of the flower festivals and the cultural figure, the banjo man.

"We will also feature video documentaries of Sir Derek and Roderick Walcott as part of the celebration in order to highlight his legacy, [and while it is] both our Nobel Laureates' birthdays, we are focusing mainly on Sir Derek obviously because it’s Walcott House," said Germaine Joseph, program officer at the Saint Lucia National Trust.

"We want to create awareness and we want kids to walk away knowing a little bit more about their history and culture, and important key figures in oral history like the banjo man," he continued. "We want kids to know the basis of their culture."

The exhibition is open to both mainstream and special education institutions.

On Jan. 27, Walcott House will again open its doors to 50 students from three different schools, as it brings the curtains down on the week-long exhibition.
