FLUX GALLERY OPEN BY APPOINTMENT

Upcoming Event

join us at the FLUX gallery space for a talk on Jamaican history & culture

inspired by our recent book club pick, “A History of Seven Killings”, we will be inviting Dianna and Hazel to share stories about Jamaica in the 1970s

Dianna, a founding member of Jamaicans on Vancouver Island Canadian Services Society (JOVICSS), and Hazel, co-founder of 250 Jerk JA Ltd, migrated from Jamaica to Canada. They both have been active voices in sharing and preserving Jamaican culture on Vancouver Island. Hazel brings first-hand knowledge of experiences during the period referenced in the featured book, A Brief History of Seven Killings. She will be offering a valuable perspective on Jamaica’s social and cultural life at that time. Together, Diana and Hazel are committed to fostering dialogue around Jamaica’s political climate, vibrant music scene, and the lived experiences of the Jamaican diaspora.
