Single-use plastic bags and styrofoam containers, widely used in Jamaica, are a threat to both the environment and our health. Next Wednesday, December 6, join the Caribbean Policy Research Institute as we discuss solutions to eliminate both from our waste stream. 

We will be joined for this conversation by Dr. Parris Lyew-Ayee (Mona GIS) and Mr. Anthony McKenzie (NEPA), both members of the working group set up by the Jamaican government to design a policy framework for the elimination of both "scandal" bags and styrofoam. 

We are looking forward to a productive debate on an issue which affects every single one of us. While certain companies (such as Island Grill or PriceSmart) have, of their own initiative, implemented solutions, policies will be crucial in ensuring the widespread elimination of these plastics which take hundreds of years to break down, are blocking drainages, and, ending up in our oceans, ultimately can end up on our plate.

Every year $1 trillion is paid in bribes while an estimated $2.6 trillion are stolen annually through corruption – a sum equivalent to more than 5 per cent of the global GDP. In developing countries, according to the United Nations Development Programme, funds lost to corruption are estimated at 10 times the amount of official development assistance.

Corruption is a serious crime that can undermine social and economic development in all societies. No country, region or community is immune. This year UNODC and UNDP have developed a joint global campaign, focusing on how corruption affects education, health, justice, democracy, prosperity and development.

National Gallery West in Montego Bay is pleased to present Spiritual Yards, which features selected works of art and archival material from the Wayne and Myrene Cox Collection. The exhibition opens on Sunday, December 10, 2017, at 4 pm, with opening remarks by Wayne Cox. Spiritual Yards was originally shown at the National Gallery of Jamaica in Kingston and the exhibition at National Gallery West is an abridged version of the original.

Spiritual Yards explores how many of the self-taught, popular artists – or “Intuitives,” as they are now conventionally called in Jamaica – have their roots in religious and spiritual practices such as Revival and Rastafari. Several of these artists have produced or contributed to so-called “spiritual yards,” or sacred spaces that feature ritual and symbolic objects and images that are meant engage or represent the spirits, which was either the start of their artistic practice or remained as its main focus. As Wayne Cox has rightly argued, these spiritual yards are often their most outstanding works of art and their cultural significance in the Jamaican context warrants further exploration. Spiritual Yards features the work of ten such artists, namely Errol Lloyd “Powah” Atherton, Vincent Atherton, Everald Brown, Pastor Winston Brown, Leonard Daley, Reginald English, Elijah (Geneva Mais Jarrett), William “Woody” Joseph, Errol McKenzie, and Sylvester Stephens, along with photographs and video material on their life, work and spiritual yards from the Wayne and Myrene Cox archives.

Wayne Cox and his wife Myrene have collected and documented the work of Jamaica’s Intuitives for 30 years. Their homes in Port Maria and in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, serve as important repositories of the work of these artists. Works of the Wayne and Myrene Cox Collection have been widely exhibited internationally and in Jamaica. Wayne has written exhibition catalogue essays for a number of exhibitions, including Intuitives III at the National Gallery of Jamaica. He has presented at symposiums including Taking the Road Less Traveled: Built Environments of Vernacular Artists at the Kohler Art Center and Uncommon Visions at the American Folk Art Museum in the United States. In 2005, Art and Antiques named the Coxes to their list of the “Top 100 Art Collectors in the United States.” The Spiritual Yards exhibition was suggested to the National Gallery by Wayne Cox, who co-curated the exhibition with the National Gallery Executive Director Veerle Poupeye and Senior Curator O’Neil Lawrence.

The December 10 exhibition opening reception for Spiritual Yards at National Gallery West is free and open to the public and all are cordially invited to attend. The exhibition will continue until February 25, 2018. National Gallery West is the National Gallery of Jamaica's Montego Bay branch and is located at the Montego Bay Cultural Centre, Sam Sharpe Square. Opening hours are: Tuesdays to Sundays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Admission fees apply on regular days.

Forward To The Past

We are living in a day and age where many people are suffering around us and in our churches, because they are afraid to remove their mask.  Some people don’t even know where to begin, how can they be honest about their past and present struggles that have been preventing them from being who God has called and created them to be.  We believe as a ministry with a focus to “Build Courtships & Marriages”, God has chosen us in this season to create a gathering where everyone can and will finally be honest with themselves.  

What mask are you wearing ? What mask have you been carrying around for days, weeks, months and even years? God is saying it’s time to REMOVE It! And that’s what this conference is about! No more hiding behind the MAKE UP / SKIRTS & Your fancy bowties! God wants you in the state that you are! He’s ready to heal you of your past and present pains! He’s ready to heal your marriage! He’s ready to change your life.  The FFAR team is ready to do the work, we are anticipating a dynamic move of God.
