Laluna Art Project is proud to announce its next featured artist, Caribbean-born wearable art designer and creative director Risanne Martin, whose immersive exhibition Bricolage: Reimagining Home, The Story of Iris, will open on 13 March 2026.
Prepared exclusively for Laluna Art Project, Bricolage is a multi-sensory ancestral exhibition that tells the story of Iris, the artist’s late mother, a Caribbean woman whose life unfolds across three chapters and twelve sculptural wearable art pieces.
Through upcycled materials, natural fibres, dried fruit, shells and discarded textiles, Martin transforms waste into memory, and memory into art. The works are not for sale, but serve as a powerful call to sustainable practice and cultural remembrance.
Rooted in island life and shaped by her upbringing in a fishing village on the west coast of Trinidad and Tobago, and now based in Grenada, Martin brings more than 15 years of experience in costume design, styling and production design to this deeply personal body of work. Her practice sits at the intersection of fashion, healing and environmental consciousness.
The exhibition unfolds in 3 chapters:
- Chapter 1: Country Gyal Come to Town explores Iris’ rural beginnings, migration and grounded connection to the soil, featuring natural fibres, raffia and woven textures, accompanied by countryside soundscapes and seasonal fruits
- Chapter 2: Boundless Love celebrates romance, carnival and youthful electricity through denim, patchwork and festival references, layered with sound, storytelling and ancestral imagery
- Chapter 3: Iris’ Renaissance marks rebirth and legacy, blending shells, fruit prints and avant-garde repurposed garments in an emotional homecoming that honours lineage and transformation
More than a visual exhibition, Bricolage is fully immersive. Visitors will encounter sound installations, seasonal fruit tastings linked to each story, ancestral photography and tactile natural textures that invite reflection and reconnection.
Laluna Art Project aligns with Bricolage through a shared reverence for nature, conscious living and art that encourages intimacy and transformation. As a sustainable art platform, Laluna provides the ideal setting for this ancestral reclamation through design.
The exhibition is set to tour the Caribbean region, the USA, Canada, and the UK in 2026.
