Join us Thursday April 23, at 6:00pm for the opening reception of Morant Bay.

Curated by: Dr. Julie Crooks. In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, BAND Gallery welcomes back Jamaican-Canadian photographer Christina Leslie for the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival. ​

In 2009, BAND exhibited Leslie’s series ​Miss-Percieved​ . ​Recently Leslie returned to her father’s hometown of Morant Bay in​ ​Jamaica. While what she found was a village in decline, she was driven by a sense of nostalgia and set about documenting the people and landscapes. Reunited with family, childhood friends, and revisiting landmarks, this body of work is ​a personal meditation on loss, absence and resilience in a small town in Jamaica.
