Ward Minnis

I was born in Nassau in July 1977 and attended Queens College until the age of 12 when my family moved to the island of Eleuthera in 1990. I then graduated from a really crappy high school called, imaginatively enough, Governors Harbour High School, in 1993.

After knocking about for several years I enrolled in the College of the Bahamas Associate Degree program in Art in 2001. I learned to paint and put on a show or two. The best so far happened in May 2004, when me and my classmate, Jace McKinney put on the Famous Faces of Nassau art show at the Central Bank gallery. The proof is on youtube. Art-speak B.S. would call it “a conceptual portrait collaboration that challenged the idea of fame in the Bahamian context.” You can call it whatever you want. If you would like to see samples of my artwork and photography visit wardmin.com.

I’m also an aspiring actor, and was a member of the Track Road Theatre group till about 2008 and I performed some of my poetry in their production of “Play Time” which ran in July and November of 2003 at the Dundas Center for the Performing Arts. You might have also seen me in the RingPlay Production of “The LandLord” from August 2003 as the nefarious Ellis… Yeah. Didn’t think so.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Caribbean Studies from York University, Toronto, Canada. I’m now in Ottawa, Canada at Carleton University trying to get an MA in History.

If you are bored out of your mind, why don’t you look at some of my academic work and get a whiff of my current CV over at wardmin.INFO. If that tickles your fancy then you might also be interested in my outrageous political and ultimately meaningless philosophical opinions which I post over at Mental Slavery.com.

If however, you simply prefer to hear me bitch and moan about everything that is awry in my miserable life, well then my friend, you are in the right place.

Enjoy.
