Isaac Mendes Belisario was one of the earliest artists to depict Jamaican culture. This character sketch, “Koo-Koo, or
Actor Boy”, is of a junkanoo dancer after Emancipation. It was in his collection of lithographs released in 1837-38.
The Glasgow School of Art Exhibition in Scotland will present the work of the late photographer Sandra George until June 30th. Born to Jamaican parents, George spent the first seven years of her life here before migrating to Birmingham. Later she went to Edinburgh to live with her father.
