The Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis is hosting a lecture series as a part of the celebrations of the 39th Anniversary Celebration of the country’s Independence. Renowned photographer of Kittian Origin, and Professor at Guttman College of the City University of New York, Tau Battice, will deliver the featured address at the Independence Lecture Series Scheduled for Wednesday, September 14, at the St Kitts Marriott Resort Ballroom.
The lecture series will be starting at 7:30 PM. Professor Battice said he was honoured to be selected to speak at an event of such significance.
When Professor Battice was asked what the audience could expect, he stated, “It all remains to be seen and heard because I ‘literally’ use images and words. I hope that by sharing parts from my journey, I can spark some fresh thinking about who we are, individually and nationally, and who we can be.”
He described the Prime Minister’s Independence Lecture Series as an opportunity to demonstrate successful personalities who positively engage with persons from all walks of life.
Talking about the opportunity that he has been given, Professor Battice stated, “I am tremendously humbled to be chosen to share at such a powerful event. It is a great honour to have this reasoning with my people, especially with the young minds in the audience. I feel very inspired.”
Professor Battice was born in St Kitts and grew up in East Street, Newtown. He attended Saint Joseph’s Primary School, St. Theresa’s Convent School, and then the Sixth Form.
He initially moved to the United States of America to pursue Medicine but grew tired of being in the lab. Fortunately, he won a full undergraduate scholarship to study English at the City College of New York. At the City College, he completed his Bachelor’s work. He then continued his Graduate work at Brooklyn College.
The Prime Minister’s annual Lecture Series is being hosted as a part of the Independence celebrations and features prominent nationals of St Kitts and Nevis from various spheres of influence.
