Leaping To Oblivion - A Caribbean Culture Ends At Caribs Leap, Grenada
Matthew Hamilton visits Caribs Leap in the Eastern Caribbean island of Grenada. This location is deeply symbolic of the human history of the continent of America as it marks the end of the indigenous Kalinago or Carib population on the island. What is particularly striking is the manner in which that culture came to an end. In 1561 the remaining Carib population opted for mass suicide by jumping onto the rocks below them in preference to surrender to the invading French army.

Caribbean: Grenada – Treasures of the Past
Stone axes, petroglyphs and other archaeological discoveries in Grenada support the belief of an Amerindian highway from South America through the Caribbean islands. At the former Pearls Airport site built on an early Carib settlement, we find ancient artifacts. Sir William Branch gives insight to the islands significance as a major producer of nutmeg oil and its role in medical history.

Western Deep | Steve McQueen (2002) [Short]
Caribs’ Leap / Western Deep comprises two complementary films that are shown together as a three-screen, synchronised colour video projection. The films were originally commissioned for the Documenta 11 exhibition in Kassel, Germany in 2002. They were then screened in London by Artangel in the former Lumiere Cinema on St Martins Lane in the autumn of that same year.
The film Caribs’ Leap is projected onto two of the three screens, which face each other. It was filmed on the Caribbean island of Grenada, where the artist’s parents were born, and memorialises a historical incident that took place there in 1651, over 150 years after the explorer Christopher Columbus first arrived at the island. For all this time the local Carib Indians fiercely resisted European colonisation, resulting in a temporary truce with the French in 1650 before fighting erupted again and the French triumphed. The last Caribs chose to jump to their deaths rather than submit to the Europeans, an event that is said to have occurred at a cliff in the town of Sauteurs, now known as Caribs’ Leap. McQueen’s film was shot at the site of this extraordinary act of collective resistance and sacrifice. The larger of the two screens shows the sky and its reflection in the shallow waters of the sea. Periodically the calm of the scene is disrupted by a figure falling vertiginously through the air. The figure is viewed mid-flight, never seen jumping or landing. The smaller screen opposite documents the passage of time in Grenada during the course of a day. The film begins in the pale light of dawn. McQueen captures life on the beachfront and the dock where boats pass by. Towards the end of the film the camera moves into a funeral parlour where the dead lie in highly polished coffins. McQueen was inspired to make Caribs’ Leap after visiting Grenada for his grandmother’s funeral; the subject matter of the film is therefore highly personal and elegiac.
Western Deep was filmed in the deepest gold mines in the world, the TauTona mines in the Witwatersrand Reef near Johannesburg in South Africa. Three and a half kilometres underground, the mines represent the deepest anyone has been into the core of the Earth. Working at such deep levels has serious and potentially dangerous consequences for the miners. The temperature can read seventy degrees Celsius. In the deepest parts of the mines the pressure above the miners is 9,500 tonnes per metre squared, or approximately 920 times normal atmospheric pressure. The film follows the miners as they descend into the mines in industrial lifts, and conveys the darkness and claustrophobia of the shafts as well as the dust and the noise in such confined spaces. One of the most striking things about the installation, however, is the sound.

Walking Through the Graveyard at Leapers Hill, Grenada
The Carib Indiana inhabited the island of Grenada before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1498. For a century and a half, the Caribs repulsed all attempts at European settlement, until the French came over from Martinique. The Caribs, unwilling to be captured and taken as slaves, met death by throwing themselves off the cliff onto the rocks below what today is called LEAPERS HILL.

Foward Ever Backward Never 2014
In 2002 Artangel Interaction commissioned Pogus Caesar to produce a film in response to Steve McQueen's 'Caribs Leap/Western Deep.' The result was 'Forward Ever - Backward Never', a collaborative project in partnership with The Descendants a London based youth group. Set in the Caribbean, the film tells the tragic story of young slaves, who after escaping from the encampment find themselves facing even greater danger from the outside world.
Forward Ever - Backward Never is produced and directed by Pogus Caesar for Windrush Productions.
History Of Grenada
The '''recorded history of the Caribbean island of Grenada''' begins in the early 17th century. First settled by indigenous peoples, by the time of European contact it was inhabited by the Caribs. French colonists drove most of the Caribs off the island and established plantations on the island, eventually importing African slaves to work on the sugar plantations.
