Guyana Culture Channel 5: Landmarks, Legacy & Regional Arts
History written in architecture, art, and archives
Channel 5 explores the built and cultural heritage of Guyana—from colonial forts like Zeelandia to the timber-frame structures of Georgetown. These sites offer more than historical value; they are gathering places and symbols of resistance, faith, and transformation.
We also cover Guyana’s role in CARIFESTA, the Caribbean Festival of Arts that unites creative minds across the region. Watch featurettes on sculptors, musicians, and dancers using their craft to address justice, belonging, and healing.

Guyana Culture Channel 4: Food, Culinary Traditions, and Local Cuisine
Welcome to Guyana Culture Channel 4, where we delve into the vibrant culinary traditions of Guyana. Guyanese cuisine is a fusion of flavors from Indigenous, African, East Indian, and European influences, resulting in a unique and diverse food culture. From savory dishes like pepperpot and curry to sweet treats like guava cheese and mauby, our channel explores the deep connection between food, culture, and identity in Guyana.
Food is a central part of celebrations and family gatherings, and on this channel, we highlight traditional recipes, cooking techniques, and the cultural significance of Guyanese dishes. One of our featured segments, Co-Parenting Blues, explores the role of food in family dynamics, particularly during special occasions such as weddings, religious festivals, and national holidays.
Our programs also focus on the importance of preserving traditional recipes and cooking methods, especially in a rapidly changing world. We explore how younger generations in Guyana are bringing new interpretations to classic dishes while keeping their cultural roots intact. In addition, we dive into the history of Guyanese food, investigating how different communities have contributed to the evolution of local cuisine.
