PSA: Tomorrow, 4/7/22 3:00pm E.S.T Dancehall Diaries launches on @KerwinFrost @youtube channel. The Archive speaks for itself !!!!!! ⁣⁣ Filmed at the Woods Cathedral where my 'SOURSOP' exhibition with @NewCanons was mounted, and hosted by @kerwinfrost , Dancehall Diaries exists as an extension of my first solo exhibition No Gyal Can Test, which took place at Red Bull Arts Detroit in 2021. This round table brings together a group of dancehall luminaries featured in the exhibition - Sandra Lee, Paula and Debbie Ouch, and Pinky - to discuss the social world of Kingston’s dancehall scene in the 1980s and 90s. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Integrating a pop-up video technique, Dancehall Diaries aims to humanize the women behind the archive while layering in key historical, personal, and pop culture facts about dancehall and the individuals who propelled the scene to a global movement. @Kerwinfrost connects key moments in the show with the real world experiences of the dancehall queens ultimately illustrating the development of dancehall’s influential visual aesthetics across two decades. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This contemporary take on an oral history reflects how the culture has changed and how these women's approach to life and visionary sense of style has contributed to the island’s evolving cultural legacy.
