We are thrilled to annouce that Camille Chedda from Kingston, Jamaica will be visiting Victoria Yards as part of the Global Co-commission Project ‘A Feral Commons’, initiated and spearheaded by Alserkal Advisory.
Chedda's ‘Chain of Love: Rice and Peas Bush in Lower South Camp in Kingston, is a cement block that contains images and objects within its hollows, telling stories about the local community. The rice and peas bush grows freely as a mark of value and possibility in an act of unifying people born from a traumatic history towards a future that is at once symbiotic with nature and with financial independence.
Chedda will be at Victoria Yards on the 01st September 2024 to participate in an open panel discussion to which the public are invited to attend.
Io Makandal, the artist behind "Ophidian's Promise", will be hosting the panel and expanding on how her work, also part of the Global Commission Project, 'A Feral Commons', relates to the central theme of "Be The River", a project to highlight the plight of the Jukskei River.
