Emma Roberts and Dave Franco star in this crime thriller that
centres on an online video game. The film follows Venus 'Vee'
Delmonico (Roberts) as she takes part in an online game of truth or
dare where she is assigned goals to complete for money. But, as a
player, Vee soon finds her every move being controlled by her
growing number of watchers, who follow her online as she completes
her dares. After teaming up with Ian (Franco), the pair get given a
series of dares to complete together, with the money and danger
involved increasing each time. As the experience quickly evolves
into a life-or-death struggle, Vee realises that the only way to
escape the game without losing everything is to win it all.

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.

This edited collection re-examines the relationship between art and
the sea, reflecting growing interest in the intersections between
art and maritime history. Artists have always been fascinated by
and drawn to the sea and this book considers some of the themes and
approaches in art that have evolved as a result of this
captivation. The chapters consider how an examination of art can
provide new insights into existing knowledge of port and maritime
history, and are representative of a 'cultural turn' in port and
maritime studies, which is becoming increasingly visible. In Art
and the Sea, multiple perspectives are offered as a result of the
contributors' individual positions and methodologies: some
museological, others art historical or maritime-historical. Each
chapter proposes a new way of building upon available
interpretations of port and maritime history: whether this be to
reject, support or reconsider existing knowledge. The book as a
whole is a timely addition, therefore, to the developing body of
revisionist texts in port and maritime history. The
interdisciplinary nature of the volume relates to a current trend
for interdisciplinarity in art history and will appeal to those
with an interest in art history, geography, sociology, history and
transport / maritime studies.
