We explored the linkages between Scottish and Jamaican culture.
“Edinburgh’s own Neu! Reekie! made their second appearance at National Galleries of Scotland in February 2016 with a bespoke Scotland and Jamaica night of poetry, music and dancing in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery’s Great Hall. The event explored links between the two countries highlighted in the Document Scotland: The Ties That Bind exhibition and included Jamaican dub poet, Jean Binta Breeze; the voice of world roots reggae music, Brina; and poet Salena Godden.”
