All are welcome to the exhibition reception for Tyshan Wright: Maroon Town. In this immersive exhibition, Wright creates a staged Maroon house and settlement that includes expertly handcrafted iterations of the ceremonial and everyday domestic objects that Maroons were forced to leave behind in Jamaica, as well as those they use today. This staged settlement imagines Jamaican Maroons and Maroon life thriving across time and place. Maroon Town celebrates historic Maroon resilience and present-day acts of sovereignty that build a vibrant and connected tomorrow for Maroon descendants. The exhibition reception will be a celebratory community event that centres a performance by the artist and also feature live music and refreshments.
