This book accompanies the first exhibition entirely of Jamaican art
to take place in the north-west of the UK. The exhibition, Jamaica
Making: The Theresa Roberts Art Collection, is sited at the
Victoria Gallery and Museum, Liverpool in 2022, and is a
comprehensive presentation of the best of Jamaican art since the
1960s. The Theresa Roberts Art Collection is the private collection
of Theresa Roberts, a Jamaican-born businesswoman and
philanthropist, who has made the UK her home. This collection
offers an important insight into the development of Jamaican art
since the country gained independence in 1962. Indeed, the
exhibition also acts to commemorate the 60th anniversary of
Jamaican independence in 2022. Included in the book are the
following: an official welcome from the Prime Minister of Jamaica;
an essay by the collector, exhibition donor and philanthropist,
Theresa Roberts; an introduction by eminent British-Jamaican art
historian, Edward Lucie-Smith; essays by Emma Roberts, the
exhibition curator (Liverpool John Moores University), Davinia
Gregory-Kameka, writer, educator and researcher (Columbia
University, USA) and Sireita Mullings, arts practitioner and visual
sociologist (University of Bedfordshire). The final section of the
book is the full visual catalogue of the Jamaica Making exhibition
- a unique record of this historic exhibition. An Open Access
edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press
website and the OAPEN library.
