Jamaican Journeys: Identity, Place and Conversations through Art

This exhibition celebrates the diverse, vibrant and engaging visual culture that has emerged from Jamaica since its independence in 1962. It features a wide range of artworks from the extensive private collection of Jamaican-born entrepreneur and philanthropist Theresa Roberts.

Including paintings, sculpture, photography and printmaking, Jamaican Journeys provides a unique opportunity to explore artistic, geographic and historical connections between dynamic cultural identities and conversations about what it means to be Jamaican. These pieces provide a reflective journey through the work of many of Jamaica’s most celebrated artists, including renowned Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art alumna, Judy Ann MacMillan.

The exhibition is a collaboration between the University of Dundee and Liverpool John Moores University with support from the Jamaican Patty Company, the Black Circle Gallery and the University of Hull. It has been curated by Dr Susan P Mains and Matthew Jarron (University of Dundee) with Dr Emma Roberts (Liverpool John Moores University).
