Jamaica Jamaica Exhibition
Posted on January 28th, 2020 by Dyandra
The Jamaica Jamaica exhibition will put on display a documentation of the dynamic socio-political and musical history of the Island of Jamaica. Tracing its origins back to the inherited traditional forms of song and dance noted during the periods of colonization and enslavement in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, Jamaican music has laid the foundations for a number of modern-day urban musical genres, giving rise to such fixtures of today’s musical lingo such as “DJ”, “sound system”, “remix”, “dub”, etc. The exhibition seeks to acknowledge this history by bringing together significant artefacts, rare memorabilia, photographs, visual art, audio recordings and footage unearthed from private collections and museums in Jamaica. Jamaica Jamaica! reconsiders Jamaican music through the prism of the postcolonial conflicts and encounters that led to a unique and universal movement through musical styles as varied as Revival, Mento, Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Dub and Dancehall. It is a virtual “sound clash” between Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Lee Perry, King Tubby, Studio One, the Alpha Boys School, Haile Selassie I, Marcus Garvey, etc.
