I have been holding out on mentioning this before its release last night mainly because the little girl from St.Ann, Jamaica still can’t fathom it…but I am now officially an exhibitor at the American Museum of Natural History 🥹

Right after Carnival Tuesday I went straight to New York to experience @amnh ‘s ‘Climate Fete’, an event put on for the purpose of celebrating the resilience of Caribbean people in the face of climate change but to also dissect the ways in which it continues to affect our history, culture and survival.

My piece ‘Ixora: Woman of Wood and Wire’ was born from the need to represent our beautiful and diverse history and was created with sustainability as a priority. I’d like to thank Jackie Handy and the @amnh team for granting me such an incredible platform to showcase my art but also the support as I stand proudly, a West Indian woman trying to contribute to the larger conversation.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, my support system, my family, my people. Its easy to speak on what this means for me personally to showcase in one of the largest museums in the world as a girl from a small island with big dreams, but this one is not for me, its for all of us and may it allow a light to shine on our history, our struggle, our joy and our resilience.

This month, the American Museum of Natural History hosted Carnival at the Museum: A Climate Fete. This high-energy celebration of Caribbean culture featured Ixora: Woman of Wood and Wire by artist and designer @annaixe, who creates masterpieces from found and sustainable materials, and paid homage to the resilience of her home country, Jamaica, as it rebuilds from Hurricane Melissa.

This weekend is your last chance to see the installation of her grand Mas costume at the Museum! Find this work of art on Floor 2 of the Gilder Center.

Last day of 2025 and I just want to say to you guys , thank you, deeply. What started off as a quest for deeper healing, ended up becoming one of the most beautiful years of my life. Thank you for every like, share, comment, message and word of encouragement, I am nothing without the community that uplifts me. ♥️

Happy Sunday! 📦💝🇯🇲

A lil backstory - we all have that one Caribbean relative that always wants us to carry up rum for them when we travel 😩
I realized some airlines don’t allow the actual box (you can always opt for a bag or put it in your carry on) BUT I just think this box is such a cool 🇯🇲 statement so ….I decided to wear it instead 🤣

Thank you @portofcalljamaica for supporting me on my quest to preserve Caribbean culture through art and fashion ♥️♥️♥️

@yardmascarnival, Jamaica’s fastest-growing mas-band known for its celebration of national pride and creative excellence, has officially announced Anna-Lisa Guthrie (@annaixe) as its Creative Director for the 2026 season. This announcement comes ahead of the official band launch set for late November 2025, which promises to reveal a new era of design depth, inclusivity, and artistry for the Yard Mas brand.

A multidisciplinary creative celebrated for her innovative approach to costume design and storytelling through art, Anna-Lisa’s appointment signals Yard Mas’ continued commitment to showcasing authentic Jamaican talent on the global Carnival stage.
Andrew Bellamy (@andrewbellamyja), Managing Director, Yard Mas Carnival, expressed confidence in the band’s choice in the newly minted Creative Director; “Yard Mas has always pride itself in empowering Jamaicans, especially those who excel within our local creative industry. Anna-Lisa’s rise in the design world has been impressive, consistent and remarkable. I’ve worked with her in the past when she just entered the carnival design space. Undoubtedly Anna’s work as gone viral multiple times both locally and internationallymainly because of her innovation that connects deeply and resonates with people and our culture; similarly to how Yard Mas connects with our masqueraders. We are proud and confident that her creative direction will guide and ‘wow’ our 2026 theme, and without a doubt her personal designs will also excite and satisfy masqueraders.”

Already in full creation mode; Anna shared: “Art has always been my language — it’s how I translate emotion, culture, and identity into visual form. What Yard Mas has built in such a short time is nothing short of extraordinary — a community connected by creativity, culture, pride and vibes. I designed for the band for the first time this year but I’ve worked with the members in various capacities in the past and I can’t wait for the “yardies” to see what our slate of designers have created for 2026!”

Dania Beckford (@dpublicist), Public Relations Director, Yard Mas Carnival, also endorsed the team’s decision of appointing Anna as Creative Director.

@yardmascarnival, Jamaica’s fastest-growing mas-band known for its celebration of national pride and creative excellence, has officially announced Anna-Lisa Guthrie (@annaixe) as its Creative Director for the 2026 season. This announcement comes ahead of the official band launch set for late November 2025, which promises to reveal a new era of design depth, inclusivity, and artistry for the Yard Mas brand.

A multidisciplinary creative celebrated for her innovative approach to costume design and storytelling through art, Anna-Lisa’s appointment signals Yard Mas’ continued commitment to showcasing authentic Jamaican talent on the global Carnival stage.
Andrew Bellamy (@andrewbellamyja), Managing Director, Yard Mas Carnival, expressed confidence in the band’s choice in the newly minted Creative Director; “Yard Mas has always pride itself in empowering Jamaicans, especially those who excel within our local creative industry. Anna-Lisa’s rise in the design world has been impressive, consistent and remarkable. I’ve worked with her in the past when she just entered the carnival design space. Undoubtedly Anna’s work as gone viral multiple times both locally and internationallymainly because of her innovation that connects deeply and resonates with people and our culture; similarly to how Yard Mas connects with our masqueraders. We are proud and confident that her creative direction will guide and ‘wow’ our 2026 theme, and without a doubt her personal designs will also excite and satisfy masqueraders.”

Already in full creation mode; Anna shared: “Art has always been my language — it’s how I translate emotion, culture, and identity into visual form. What Yard Mas has built in such a short time is nothing short of extraordinary — a community connected by creativity, culture, pride and vibes. I designed for the band for the first time this year but I’ve worked with the members in various capacities in the past and I can’t wait for the “yardies” to see what our slate of designers have created for 2026!”
