Skin In The Game

A collective offering about touch, transmission, and skin—the potential, vulnerability and risk contained therein—as a boundary to protect from danger or as a porous border to receive.

PALM HEIGHTS

Founded by creative director Gabriella Khalil, Palm Heights is the first all-suite boutique hotel on Grand Cayman—a lush and luxurious beachfront restorative estate. Bringing a dose of sophistication and polychromatic whimsy to the white sands of Seven Mile Beach, this 52-suite hideaway has earned exalted status among culture and design lovers seeking respite in the Caribbean.

The 1970s charm and aesthetic, wellness and cultural offerings are all nourished by the year-round arts and choreography residencies—a program that nurtures and accommodates international creators by providing space for them to create without limits and explore the multiplicity of cultural currents within the Caribbean. Palm Heights showcases and hosts artists, athletes, musicians, writers, academics, and other individuals who are actively contributing to the development of narratives in contemporary culture as part of the Open Palm Residency Program. The program builds on an existing multicultural base in Grand Cayman, an island that is home to a population of only 60,000 but over 130 nationalities.

The cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural program hosts a calendar of dinners and performances that explore dialogues and influences on the Caribbean identity, culture and its natural environment and important global matters as well as offering residency spaces and support. Palm Heights supports arts and culture around the world by funding exhibitions, performances and new commissions that align with their mission to encourage cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaboration and conversation.
