Welcome to Jamaica

Inspired by Rachel Moseley-Wood’s essay “The Other Jamaica”, Damian Marley’s controversial song “Welcome to Jamrock”, and juxtaposed views of Jamaica via tourism and marginalized Jamaicans. This short animation uses found film of Jamaica in the 1930s-60s to manipulate the camera’s ethnographic points of view.
