Description:
On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the National Gallery of Jamaica will open the much-anticipated Kingston Biennial 2024: Green X Gold exhibition. The event will take place at 12 Ocean Boulevard with the official opening ceremony beginning at 1:30 PM.
With the charismatic Sherando Ferril as the master of ceremonies, the day promises an exciting fusion of art and culture. The atmosphere of the day will be set by the selections of Fatalic. Adding to the occasion’s significance, the Hon. Olivia Grange OJ, CD, MP, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment, and Sport, will grace the event and open the exhibition, underscoring the Ministry’s commitment to fostering Jamaica's cultural heritage.
The exhibition Kingston Biennial 2024: Green X Gold revolves around land, environment and ecology, taking inspiration from themes of the Jamaican flag. It also plays on the constructed depiction of Jamaica and the Caribbean as “paradise”, which is seen largely in tourism marketing, and contrasts it with ecological realities that are less publicised.
This event is free and open to the public, providing an inclusive platform for visitors to immerse themselves in this museum experience. Doors will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
