  • Kingston the creative capital of the Caribbean

    Recipient: Kingston Creative

    Category: Arts and Culture

    Water Lane in downtown Kingston is now a sight for sore eyes. The street that once housed dilapidated, abandoned buildings has now come alive through vibrant, awe-inspiring artwork, an initiative birthed through the genius idea now known as Kingston Creative.

    Andrea Dempster-Chung exuded pure passion as she spoke glowingly of the two-decade journey of Kingston Creative.

    Over the last two years, what started out as an idea to create an art district in downtown Kingston has been transformed into what is arguably Jamaica’s most innovative creative arts organisation.

    INTERESTING FACTS
    * The United Nations has designated 2021 as the year of creative economies for sustainable development, so it’s not crazy for looking at culture as a lever for national development, and Jamaica is aligned with that.

    * A lot of what Kingston Creative does is working at the intersection of creativity and technology. For example, its use of augmented reality in murals. Using the Artivive app, each mural animates so you can get information on the history of Kingston and the background of the artist through your phone.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
