Exhibition Description
"The Kingston Biennial is the flagship exhibition of the National Gallery of Jamaica, highly anticipated by audiences at home and abroad. In 2019, it was reconfigured into a thematic and guest-curated exhibition, wherein a critically-acclaimed curator, external to the NGJ, is invited to lead the exhibition’s artistic direction. Working in collaboration and consultation with the NGJ’s Chief Curator O’Neil Lawrence and his Curatorial Team, the Kingston Biennial guest curator is also responsible for developing the exhibition’s theme, and selecting the artists and their works. Artists selected for the exhibition are Jamaican and larger Caribbean creative practitioners based locally and in the diaspora. " - The National Gallery of Jamaica
