Lucille Junker 'The Cultural Colours and Fibres of Jamaica' is now open until July 3.

Colonisation, the transatlantic slave trade, and centuries of racist ideology and propaganda about Black inferiority and white superiority have shaped our modern social and economic landscape whilst undermining indigenous African knowledge systems, worldviews, spirituality, and relationships with the environment.

Using plants as a metaphor for family, community, home, and belonging, and as a framework for healing fractured cultural identities and histories, this exhibition showcases research-led art practice to revive and ignite Jamaican knowledge of plant colour and fibre.

🕚 11.00 - 18.00 . Entry is Free.
