Ky-eni photoshoot @ Marcus Garvey’s house in St. Ann’s Bay

check this story coutsey of http://tiinapalm.com/  

While in Jamaica I’ve held 2 photography workshops, the second shorter one being held at the Marcus Garvey Youth Information Centre in St. Ann’s Bay.
To finish our mini-workshop we invited other artists to speak and held a day of positive messages for the students.
For me photography is not just about knowing how to use a camera, but more importantly about what & how the photographer decides to shoot and present. So I thought it important to include a lesson on how to view the world in a conscious manner.
We had the powerful dub poet Steppa talk to the students and singer Ky-eni performing. After all the talking we headed for a photoshoot with Ky-eni at Marcus Garvey’s birthplace in St. Ann’s Bay. The students also had a chance to do their mini shoots with Ky-eni.
I was expecting the house to be under National Heritage or government management and to see some visitors there, as it is world historically of major importance.
Instead when we got there we found 2 guys chilling in the yard who lived there and they turned out to be Marcus Garvey’s great-great-great-grandsons and the other one looked exactly like Marcus Garvey. Only in Jamaica can you go to the 1st national hero’s house and find his family smoking a spliff in the yard ! <3 <3 <3 Jamaica !
