Dialogues in the African Diaspora
Presenter: Jacqueline Bishop
The African-Diasporic Dialogues: Reconstructing Community, Identity and Memory” project investigated the commonalties and differences in two African-Diasporic communities on the island of Jamaica and in the United States. Participants in this session will learn about how middle school students recovered and preserved the history associated with the rural community of Nonsuch in Portland, on the island of Jamaica, and the urban community of San Juan Hills in Manhattan, New York and then made compelling works of art from the history recovered.
