Pushed 1087further into the domestic space as a result of the pandemic, the lives and specific violences faced by Black 1088girls and young women have been further concealed.<br /><br /> 1089 1090Intervening in these processes, NLS invited artists to commune with a girl or young woman in their life over the 1091course of several months, collaborating with her on her portrait. Centring the gendered experience of Blackness, 1092Sighting Black Girlhood attempts, through portraiture, to redress imposed silence and invisible suffering.<br /><br /> 1093 1094As art educators, visual artists Camille Chedda and Oneika Russell both chose to create portraits of their art 1095students Abigail Sweeney and Michaella Garrick respectively, who they in turn invited to create work of their 1096own for this exhibition, enacting cross-generational care in the art community as a creative praxis and professional 1097mode of working. Sasha-Kay Nicole Hinds and Tishana Fisher, both recent graduates of the School of Visual Arts, 1098Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts created portraits of their peers, 1099Ashtaina Stewart and Kamala Krishana Nakeisha Davis, respectively.<br /><br /> 1100 1101Sighting Black Girlhood is open from October 1 to October 31. The exhibition is part of an international collaboration 1102conceptualised in partnership with the Center for Experimental Ethnography, University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) 1103and the Centre for the Study of Race, Gender & Class, University of Johannesburg. 1104<br /> <br /> 1105 1106<a href="exhibitions.html">FIND OUT MORE HERE</a></p> 1107 </div> 1108 </td> 1109 </tr> 1110 1111 <tr> 1112 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1113 </tr> 1114 1115 <tr> 1116 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle"><br /> 1117 THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2022</td> 1118 </tr> 1119 <tr> 1120 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="61" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>TEACHER, NUH TEACH ME NUH NONSENSE</strong><br /> 1121 BRAD PINNOCK<br /> 1122 JULY 16 - AUGUST 15 2022</td> 1123 </tr> 1124 <tr> 1125 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="400" valign="top"> 1126 <div id="h6"> 1127 <p><br /> 1128 <a href=""residency.html"><img border="0" src="images/BRAD PINNOCK/Brad-Pinnock-horse.jpg" width="460" /></a><br /> 1129 <br /> 1130 <strong> You are invited to the opening of Brad Pinnock's solo exhibition, Teacher, Nuh Teach Me Nuh Nonsense.</strong> Pinnock visits local betting houses where he collects ephemera such as betting slips, gambling receipts and cigarette boxes to create motifs within his art that âinvestigates the human predicament, particularly as it relates to black people's psychological struggles and the gamble of living under the continued effects of colonialityâ. His horse and rider motifs are made as metaphors of a long colonial tradition in which "like horses, black people have been bred, sold and exploited for profitâ. Pinnock contemplates the history of animal experiments in the field of behaviourism, particularly those studies done in Operant Conditioning. His video and collage work draw from archival footage and photographs to further unpack how these mechanisms have been routinely exploited in politics and mass media. The exhibition title is a nod to well-known Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose hypnotic track, Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense (1980) tackles many of the same themes addressed in Pinnock's work. Pinnockâs exhibition at NLS includes a large-scale outdoor horse sculpture of steel, wire and found materials, in conversation with smaller horse sculptures set in relation to the surrounding architecture. Also included in the exhibition is an immersive indoor installation which employs collage, designed objects and video. 1131 1132<br /> <br /> 1133 1134<a href=""residency.html">FIND OUT MORE HERE</a></p> 1135 </div> 1136 </td> 1137 </tr> 1138 1139 1140 <tr> 1141 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1142 </tr> 1143 <tr> 1144 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle"><br /> 1145 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2022</td> 1146 </tr> 1147 <tr> 1148 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="61" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>SIMONE CAMBRIDGE</strong><br /> 1149 CURATORIAL & ART WRITING FELLOW<br /> 1150 FEBRUARY 2022 - JULY 2022</td> 1151 </tr> 1152 <tr> 1153 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="400" valign="top"> 1154 <div id="h6"> 1155 <p><br /> 1156 <a href="research.html"><img border="0" src="images/Simone Cambridge/Simone-Cambridge.jpg" width="460" /></a><br /> 1157 <br /> 1158 <strong> Simone Cambridge is awarded the NLS 2021 Curatorial and Art Writing Fellowship.</strong> For her 1159fellowship project, Cambridge departs from research and documentation previously conducted by her grandmother 1160centering on Bahamian straw work.

Patterson, in conversation with Daniella Rose King, will be discussing their research developed during the NLS 2020 Curatorial & Art Writing Fellowship. For this research, Patterson has been in close conversation with queer performers, activist groups, writers and artists in Barbados. Responding to these conversations, Patterson writes elegies as a way to remember practices that live at the edges of risk and disappearance. Fragmented and lyrical, these elegies hope to grieve and honour some of the ways queer lives navigate visibility, invisibility, disappearance, resurfacing and crisis.<br /><br /> 1261This conversation marks the launch of .GIF Stream, a curatorial project imagined by Ada M. Patterson.

Sinclair takes his own encounter with the history of the Haitian Revolution as a point of departure to configure a process of personal truth-telling which he employs to build a visual vocabulary for ideas of black liberation. Through installation Sinclair attempts to confront and engage the viewer's perceptions of the machete, positioning it as a cultural relic of political and historical significance of the African diaspora. In this body of work Sinclair uses paint and corrosive gestures to mark machetes with slivers of narratives taken from the Haitian Revolution, in which one can visualise the ties between race, gender, violence and nationhood in histories of subjugation and black liberation.<br /> 1424 <br /> 1425 <br /> 1426 <em>NLS 2019 programming is made possible in part through a partnership with the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development Next Generation Programme. </em></div> 1427 </td> 1428 </tr> 1429 <tr> 1430 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1431 </tr> 1432 <tr> 1433 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2019</td> 1434 </tr> 1435 <tr> 1436 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="109" id="h2" valign="middle"> 1437 <p><strong>CALL FOR APPLICATIONS<br /> 1438 ART RESIDENCY IN HAITI </strong><br /> 1439 DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1<br /> 1440 </p> 1441 </td> 1442 </tr> 1443 <tr> 1444 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="566" valign="top"> 1445 <div id="h6"><img src="images/2019-CALL-HAITI-B&W.jpg" width="460" /><br /> 1446 <br /> 1447 <strong>NLS is pleased to announce a partnership with Le Centre d’Art, Haiti in a cross residency exchange programme between Haiti and the wider Caribbean to create opportunities for women art practitioners, supported by UNESCO’s International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFDC). </strong><br /> 1448 <br /> 1449 This segment of the programme invites women artists from Jamaica to apply for a fully funded, one-month residency at Le Centre D’Art in Haiti from January 15th – February 15th. <strong>The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2019.</strong><br /> 1450 <br /> 1451 A subsequent call for women, Haitian artists to attend a one-month residency with us at NLS, Jamaica will be released at a later date.<br /> 1452 <br /> 1453 For more information on open call download PDF Guidelines here:<br /> 1454 <strong><a href="documents/nls_le_centre_dart_residency.pdf">DOWNLOAD PDF GUIDELINES</a></strong><br /> 1455 <strong><a href="documents/Le_centre_dart_form_pdf.pdf">DOWNLOAD APPLICATION FORM</a></strong><br /> 1456 <br /> 1457 Implemented by le Centre d’Art in partnership with NLS.</div> 1458 </td> 1459 </tr> 1460 <tr> 1461 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1462 </tr> 1463 <tr> 1464 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2019</td> 1465 </tr> 1466 <tr> 1467 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="38" id="h2" valign="middle"> 1468 <p><strong>T'WAUNII SINCLAIR, FALL ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE</strong><br /> 1469 AUGUST 1</p> 1470 </td> 1471 </tr> 1472 <tr> 1473 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="527" valign="top"> 1474 <div id="h6"><img src="images/ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE-TWAUNII-SINCLAIR.jpg" width="460" /><br /> 1475 <br /> 1476 <br /> 1477 <br /> 1478 <strong>NLS is pleased to welcome 2019 Fall Artist-in-residence Twaunii Sinclair</strong><br /> 1479 <br /> 1480 During his residency Sinclair will be exploring revolutionary narratives within black history and identities using the Haitian Revolution as his point of departure.

This piece closes the Artifacts series, a trilogy exploring how migration and memory affects manifestations of the Anglophone Caribbean family from the pre-Independence period to the present, using my own family history as a point of reference.<br /> 1672 <br /> 1673 Employing scrying and speculative non-fiction to demonstrate agency in crafting models of communication and care within the present, Terra Nullis abandons nostalgic desires for the biological family structure in favour of alternative kinships. Terra Nullis is “used in international law to describe territory that may be acquired by a state’s occupation of it.” Here, the state refers that of being, one that is constantly being renegotiated with the entry/exit of new modalities with which we engage each other and subsequently reconstruct the self.<br /> 1674 <br /> 1675 <br /> 1676 <a href="exhibitions.html">More information</a></p> 1677 </div> 1678 </div> 1679 </td> 1680 </tr> 1681 <tr> 1682 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="58" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1683 </tr> 1684 <tr> 1685 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2018</td> 1686 </tr> 1687 <tr> 1688 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="41" id="h2" valign="middle"> 1689 <p><strong>WIKI WORKSHOP</strong><br /> 1690 DECEMBER 22<br /> 1691 </p> 1692 </td> 1693 </tr> 1694 <tr> 1695 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="628" valign="top"> 1696 <div id="h6"> 1697 <div id="h15"> 1698 <p><img src="images/Kearra-Amaya-Gopee-Workshop-3_flyer.jpg" width="460" /><br /> 1699 <br /> 1700 <br /> 1701 <strong>Join us for a public workshop led by current NLS artist-in-residence Kearra Amaya Gopee.</strong><br /> 1702 <br /> 1703 Saturday, December 22, 2018<br /> 1704 Noon - 3:00 p.m.<br /> 1705 National Gallery of Jamaica, 12 Ocean Boulevard, Kingston<br /> 1706 <br /> 1707 Have you ever wondered how and why on a free platform like Wikipedia, some accomplished and culturally significant individuals don't have pages while others do? Ever wondered why representation of individuals on Wikipedia seems to be disproportionately based in "Western", white canons and within colonial spaces of power? Kearra Amaya Gopee addresses and actively rectifies this in a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons. These workshops will teach participants how to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Jamaican artists, curators and art workers of the African diaspora. Historical documents will be produced that respond to the urgent need for a reconstruction of the art historical record. No specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience is required; however, participants must come prepared with a laptop.

He has repurposed objects such as baby strollers, shopping carts, bottles, doors, television sets, cash registers and shoelaces, among other materials. Ward re-contextualizes these found objects in thoughtprovoking juxtapositions that create complex, metaphorical meanings to confront social and political issues surrounding race, poverty, and consumer culture. He intentionally leaves the meaning of his work open, allowing the viewer to provide his or her own interpretation. One of his most iconic
1747works, Amazing Grace, was produced as part of his 1993 residency at The Studio Museum in Harlem in response to the AIDS crisis and drug epidemic of the early 1990s. For this large-scale installation, Ward gathered more than 365 discarded baby strollers—commonly used by the homeless population in Harlem to transport their belongings—which he bound with twisted fire hoses in an abandoned fire station in Harlem. Echoing through the space was an audio recording of gospel singer Mahalia Jackson’s Amazing Grace on repeat. The lyrics speak about redemption and change, generating optimism and a sense of hope. As with most of his work, this installation explored themes informed by the materials, community, and location in which he was working. The work has since been recreated at the New Museum Studio 231 space in 2013, and in several locations across Europe. With each change of context, the significance of the work changes as each community differently associates with these found objects.</p> 1748 </div> 1749 </div> 1750 </td> 1751 </tr> 1752 <tr> 1753 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1754 </tr> 1755 <tr> 1756 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2018</td> 1757 </tr> 1758 <tr> 1759 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="78" id="h2" valign="middle"> 1760 <p>IN: BLACK BRITISH ARTS MOVEMENT<br /> 1761 <strong>ALBERTA WHITTLE<br /> 1762 ANNA ARABINDAN KESSON<br /> 1763 JANICE CHEDDIE<br /> 1764 PAUL GOODWIN<br /> 1765 SUMESHWAR SHARMA<br /> 1766 TIFFANY BOYLE</strong></p> 1767 </td> 1768 </tr> 1769 <tr> 1770 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="569" valign="top"> 1771 <div id="h6"> 1772 <div id="h15"> 1773 <p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nls-in-podcast/id1220274447?mt=2#episodeGuid=http%3A%2F%2Fnlsin.wordpress.com%2F%3Fp%3D269"><img height="288" src="images/2018 IN-29-Still sorry not sorry.jpg" width="460" /></a><br /> 1774 <br /> 1775 <strong>Listen to Episode 29 of the NLS podcast IN now on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nls-in-podcast/id1220274447?mt=2#episodeGuid=http%3A%2F%2Fnlsin.wordpress.com%2F%3Fp%3D269">iTunes</a> featuring guests Alberta Whittle, Anna Arabindan-Kesson, Janice Cheddie, Paul Goodwin, Sumeshwar Sharma and Tiffany Boyle interviewed by Nicole Smythe-Johnson. </strong><br /> 1776 <br /> 1777 Episode 29 of IN invites a group of artists, historians and curators to recapture and analyse circumstances preceding and following the Black Arts Movement of Britain's 1980s creative landscape. How did the movement begin and how has the movement evolved to exist in this contemporary moment and what has effected its traces in the present day? The conversation approaches this theme from several angles. What is the relationship of the British Black Arts Movement to transnational relationships defined largely by the conditions of empire? Have spaces outside of the UK, such as the Caribbean, impacted or influenced black consciousness and output in the UK and if so how? What are the ripple effects of the Black Arts Movement in the UK and how have these legacies influenced the development of particular forms of consciousness/influenced the development of particular modes of art making/political movements/ in/amongst/within black and non-black communities in the UK and the Commonwealth?</p> 1778 </div> 1779 </div> 1780 </td> 1781 </tr> 1782 <tr> 1783 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h32" valign="middle"></td> 1784 </tr> 1785 <tr> 1786 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">MONDAY, JULY 23, 2018</td> 1787 </tr> 1788 <tr> 1789 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="78" id="h2" valign="middle"> 1790 <p><strong>OPEN STUDIO: </strong><strong>MARIA DE LOS ANGELES RODRIGUEZ JIMENEZ</strong><br /> 1791 JULY 23</p> 1792 </td> 1793 </tr> 1794 <tr> 1795 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="735" valign="top"> 1796 <div id="h6"> 1797 <div id="h15"> 1798 <p><img alt="" border="0" src="images/MariadelosAngelesRodriguezJimenez.jpg" width="460" /><br /> 1799 <br /> 1800 <strong>NLS invites you to attend the open studio of current NLS studio artist María de los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez, Monday, July 23 from 6 - 9 p.m. </strong></p> 1801 1802 <p>María de los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez' work is about the position of herself, a Cuban born body, in a permanent state of displacement and her relationship to space. According to the artist "I cannot go back to Cuba and be the way I was before, now I am someone else. My paintings try to express the state in which this happens. They are about the inability to belong in any defined structure.” De los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez has developed an index of color relations to determine specific emotions and memories. The colors can be autonomous or have a new meaning altogether when encountering other colors and the forms they inhabit.</p> 1803 1804 <p>María de los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez was born in Holguín, Cuba in 1992 and immigrated to New Orleans, USA in 2004. She received a Bachelor’s in Fine Art from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 2015 and participated in a residency at Skowhegan school of Painting and Sculpture on 2016.

1866ss, contribute, and decenter discussions around blackness. Who is black? And what does/might being black mean in different contexts? Certainly, there are examples of how the experience of blackness has inflected creative production in the Caribbean and Latin America, already expanding hegemonic discourses of blackness. What opportunities are there for solidarity across our cultural and national boundaries? These matters seem especially pressing in the aftermath of the assassination of Afro-Latina activist and politician Marielle Franco in Rio de Janeiro. What is to be done? Participants share their relationship to blackness, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin identities, defining these terms, and thinking through what the implications of these identities are for life and work.</p> 1867 1868 <p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-28-jamila-aisha-brown-marÃa-magdalena-campos/id1220274447?i=1000411918220&mt=2">Now on iTunes</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMfI4lGX2u4&t=2s">YouTube</a></p> 1869 1870 <p><em>Above image courtesy María Magdalena Campos-Pons</em><br /> 1871 </p> 1872 </div> 1873 </div> 1874 </td> 1875 </tr> 1876 <tr> 1877 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h3" valign="middle"></td> 1878 </tr> 1879 <tr> 1880 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">THURSDAY, APRIL 05, 2018</td> 1881 </tr> 1882 <tr> 1883 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="61" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>IN<br /> 1884 COOKING SECTIONS<br /> 1885 JAMES HUTCHINSON<br /> 1886 SUSANNE WINTERLING</strong><br /> 1887 APRIL 6</td> 1888 </tr> 1889 <tr> 1890 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="456" valign="top"> 1891 <div id="h6"> 1892 <div id="h15"> 1893 <p><br /> 1894 <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-27-cooking-sections-james-hutchinson-susanne/id1220274447?i=1000408201672&mt=2"><img border="0" src="images/2018_IN_CS-JH-SW-small.gif" width="460" /></a><br /> 1895 <br /> 1896 NLS invites you to tune into our most recent episode of In, a conversation hosted by Nicole Smythe-Johnson with artist collective Cooking Sections, Glasgow-based artist and curator James Hutchinson, and Berlin-based artist Susanne Winterling in the second of two conversations on creative practices focused on decolonisation and nature.

Disaster steadily unfolds not just in the seemingly distant arctic but finally greets us here in the Americas. Looking at unprecedented events in the Caribbean alone, during the summer of 2017 two category 5 Hurricanes hit the region in the space of one week destroying fiscally indebted, historically exploited post-colonial nations such as Dominica, Guadeloupe, eradicating the country Barbuda, and bringing current colonies to their knees such as St. Martin (owned by France) and Puerto Rico (owned by the United States). What viable options are there for indivisuals living in the Caribbean have?<br /> 1935 <br /> 1936 As the ideological and practical framework of Rights of Nature, a legislative and philosophical commitment which took shape in Bolivia in 2010, slowly gains global attention and adoption through activists, creative practitioners, and academics, we bring together a conversation on the viability and applicability of Rights of Nature to spaces like the Caribbean—which has historically been a locale of imperial rebellion in war and culture. How is our current environmental crisis an economic, political, cultural and ecological one? The conversation will focus on methodologies in individual practices that weave through and connect anthropogenic climate events, colonial/post-colonial economics, environmental activism, gender studies and culture.<br /> 1937 <br /> 1938 </p> 1939 </div> 1940 </div> 1941 </td> 1942 </tr> 1943 <tr> 1944 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h17" valign="middle"></td> 1945 </tr> 1946 <tr> 1947 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">TUESDAY, JANUARY 09, 2018</td> 1948 </tr> 1949 <tr> 1950 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="61" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>BLUE CURRY</strong><br /> 1951 ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE<br /> 1952 JANUARY 19</td> 1953 </tr> 1954 <tr> 1955 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="536" valign="top"> 1956 <div id="h6"> 1957 <div id="h15"> 1958 <p><br /> 1959 <a href="residency.html"><img border="0" src="images/BLUE-CURRY.jpg" width="460" /></a><br /> 1960 <br /> 1961 Blue Curry will be in residency at NLS this month. During his residency Blue will be considering reggae music as regional cliché. One of the Caribbean’s most beloved cultural exports, born out of struggle and inequality, layered with politics and religion, reggae is now employed as a representative music of leisure globally. The jaunty reggae beat activates fantasies of sipping poolside cocktails on a carefree island getaway;
1961 it entices visitors to the region while reinforcing stereotypes and cultural singularity. Blue will be collaborating with the audio engineers at <a href="http://www.creativesoundsja.com">Creative Sounds</a> recording studio during his three week residency to produce a new work reflecting his investigation into the ways that economic geography influence cultural production and consumption. Taking an experimental approach Blue will bring together his current sculptural concerns with this new audio component for the NLS space.<br /> 1962 <br /> 1963 <a href="residency.html">More information here.</a></p> 1964 1965 <p><br /> 1966 </p> 1967 </div> 1968 </div> 1969 </td> 1970 </tr> 1971 <tr> 1972 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle"></td> 1973 </tr> 1974 <tr> 1975 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2017</td> 1976 </tr> 1977 <tr> 1978 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="130" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>IN<br /> 1979 PHILLIP THOMAS</strong><br /> 1980 OCTOBER 23</td> 1981 </tr> 1982 <tr> 1983 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="624" valign="top"> 1984 <div id="h6"> 1985 <div id="h15"> 1986 <p><br /> 1987 <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-25-nls-in-phillip-thomas/id1220274447?i=1000393318078&mt=2"><img border="0" src="images/2017_IN_PHILLIP-THOMAS.gif" width="460" /></a><br /> 1988 <br /> 1989 NLS invites you to tune into our most recent episode of In, a conversation with artist Phillip Thomas about his work and opinions on the broader contexts of art and society.

Johnson uses Belisario’s depictions to create a counterpoint to the music of Vybz Kartel as a means to question power heirarchies, legitimacy, and subjugation within Jamaican culture. In this body of work Johnson deftly moves between techniques he has employed for the last seven years ranging from Japanese anime, street art, graphic design, ceramic sculpture, and 18th century painting creating humour as a means to cutting commentary about social mores.<br /> 2124 <br /> 2125 <em><strong>Free and open to the public. </strong></em><br /> 2126 <br /> 2127 <a href="exhibitions.html">For more information click here.</a></p> 2128 </div> 2129 </div> 2130 </td> 2131 </tr> 2132 <tr> 2133 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h18" valign="middle"></td> 2134 </tr> 2135 <tr> 2136 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="16" id="h4" valign="middle">MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 2017</td> 2137 </tr> 2138 <tr> 2139 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="61" id="h2" valign="middle"><strong>CHRISTOPHER COZIER: ACTIONS BETWEEN TERRITORIES</strong><br /> 2140 JANUARY 11</td> 2141 </tr> 2142 <tr> 2143 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="471" valign="top"> 2144 <div id="h6"> 2145 <div id="h15"> 2146 <p><br /> 2147 <a href="podcasts.html"><img height="687" src="images/chris-cozier-by-mark-lyndersay.jpg" width="454" /></a><br /> 2148 <br /> 2149 Join us at the Edna Manley College on Wednesday for a public lecture by Trinidadian artist Christopher Cozier.

The work consists of a series of Photographs and site-specific installation at NLS.</p> 2346 2347 <p>The Forum opened its doors in 1973 and closed in 1978, coinciding with a tumultuous period of Jamaica’s history. For the artist's entire life the Hotel has been defunct and largely left to deteriorate with starts of re-usage in various capacities. For the first time on a visit back to Jamaica, Benjamin trespassed into the property to investigate and learn more about this building, the product of which is this exhibition.</p> 2348 2349 <p><strong>Opening reception:</strong> Saturday, March 12, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.</p> 2350 2351 <p><strong>Artist Talk:</strong> Sunday, March 13, 2016 from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., featuring invited panelist Judith Bruce, and moderated by LinYee Yuan.</p> 2352 2353 <p>These events are free and open to the public.</p> 2354 </div> 2355 </div> 2356 </td> 2357 </tr> 2358 <tr> 2359 <td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="32" id="h" valign="middle"></td> 2360 </tr> 2361 </tbody> 2362</table> 2363</div> 2364</body> 2365</html> 2366
