REIMAGINING CULTURAL MEMORIES
15 - 30 November 2024
Toyota Jamaica
Curated by Emma Miles
In Reimagining Cultural Memories, Acquille Dunkley invites visitors to explore the shared cultural memories of life in Jamaica. Featuring new pieces displayed for the first time, the exhibition reinterprets these memories, offering fresh perspectives and new significance. By integrating digital technology with contemporary art, the project not only highlights innovative directions in new media art, but celebrates the preservation of Jamaican culture.
​​As the Curator and Project Manager of Reimagining Cultural Memories, I collaborated with Jamaican visual artist Acquille Dunkley to showcase his newly conceived digital artworks across diverse mediums, including aluminum, archival paper, installation, and screens.
I also curated an engaging public programme featuring guided tours, live demonstrations, and a panel discussion which fostered dialogue on the intersections of Digital Art and Jamaican culture.
Reimagining Cultural Memories took place between November 15 - 30 at Toyota Jamaica in Kingston, Jamaica, with an opening night of over 300 attendees. ​
​
In addition to curating, I managed the entire project, securing 14 sponsorships with local and international partners, launching a comprehensive marketing campaign that included national television, digital billboards, radio and newspaper coverage, writing all textual materials, designing the exhibition handout, wall labels, and wall texts, and moderating the panel discussion.​
