Exhibit explores Jamaican past 10.02.07
The exhibition, which will be on show until Dec. 30, commemorates the bicentenary of the abolition of the British slave trade. It focuses on the visual and material culture of slavery and emancipation in Jamaica from its colonization by the British empire in 1655 through the aftermath of the abolition of slavery between 1834 and 1838. It traces the effects of slavery and emancipation, as well as the influence of West African culture, on the formation of a multilayered Jamaican identity.
