Art & Emancipation In Jamaica: Isaac Mendes Belisario And His Worlds

27 SEPTEMBER — 30 DECEMBER, 2007

Yale Center for British Art

New Haven‚ Connecticut, USA

 
Organized to commemorate the bicentenary of the abolition of the British slave trade, Art & Emancipation in Jamaica is the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the visual culture of slavery and emancipation in Jamaica. Many works in the exhibition are selected from the Center's extraordinarily rich holdings relating to the Caribbean, which provided the original impetus for this exhibition. Art and Emancipation also features works produced in the Caribbean and Britain, including a number lent from public and private collections in Jamaica that have rarely or never been exhibited.
