Alwin Anthony Bully (23 November 1948 – 10 March 2023) was a Dominican cultural administrator, playwright, actor and artist, who designed the national flag of Dominica.[1] Bully was bestowed with the Sisserou Award of Honour, the nation's second highest honour, in 1985.[2] He was responsible for establishing and developing Dominica's Department of Culture (Division of Culture) and was its first director.[3] Viewed as being the island's "cultural icon",[4] Bully's contributions were to arts and culture, also impacting on the areas of education and communication,[5] and according to Dominica News Online there was no Dominican more decorated and honoured in those fields than Bully, whose influence extended to the wider Caribbean.[6][7]
