Local artists have been asked to use their talents to help with the call for Nanny Grigg to be named a National Hero.
The request has come from Special Envoy in the Prime Minister’s Office on Reparations and Economic Enfranchisement, Trevor Prescod.
He was addressing a group of performing artists who left Barbados on Saturday to attend the International Progressive Theatre Festival in Venezuela.
There they will be performing a piece which represents an element of the 1816 Revolt and places emphasis on the important role played by Nanny Grigg.
The 12-member Barbadian contingent, performing under the name Caribbean Fusion, will be among more than two thousand artists participating.
Venezuela’s Ambassador to Barbados, Martha Ortega Peraza, says the country’s attendance at the festival is historic.
