Outpouring of condolences for Broadbridge

Johnson said Broadbridge worked tirelessly to preserve TT’s rich cultural legacy and urged the public to follow her example of country before self.

“She was one of the pioneers of our institutions, one of the earliest curators that the museum has had and she was instrumental in building up what we see here today. We are very saddened by her passing and to hear that this can happen to a woman who would have done so much for Trinidad and Tobago, it’s really disheartening”, Johnson said.

Minister of Community Development, Culture and the Arts Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly also expressed her condolences to Broadbridge’s family via a media release issued from her office yesterday.

Gadsby-Dolly described Broadbridge as a true patriot.

“In this time of grief we commit to honouring the legacy of Dr Broadbridge by continuing to work towards strengthening our communities and challenging the further normalisation of violence through mediation, sustainable community development and the promotion of healing, resolution and empowerment through the arts.” Gadsby-Dolly said Broadbridge would be remembered for her invaluable contribution to the national museum and art gallery and praised her for her years of selfless service.
