The talk will provide a rare insight into the work of around ten Jamaican artists visited in their studios and retrospective of their work from the streets of Jamaica. Their brushes paint a rich visual language on the streets of Jamaica combining commercial advertising with expressions of Jamaican culture and life. To use the Jamaican phrase ‘big tings a gwaan down the street’ it promises to be a lively talk.

Free admission and refreshments are available.

Big tings a gwaan down di street exhibition by Tracey Thorne explores the visual landscape of Jamaica through hand-painted signs, street murals and graffiti found across Jamaica. The exhibition brings together a collection of photographs, original Jamaican signs and video recordings made with painters in Jamaica.
