Kwaamen (Jamaica), 2025
120 mm giclèe print on Baryta paper
32 inches by 32 inches
Edition of 5, Signed Verso
Kwaamen was made on location in situ in the hills of St. Mary, Jamaica on the hike leading to Kwame Falls. The waterfall is named in commemoration of Kwaamen, a lieutenant in the major 1760 Tacky’s Rebellion led by Tacky (Takyi). They were both formerly enslaved men born on the Gold Coast, or what is now known as Ghana.
This work is from "The Land Sings of A Dream," Niama Safia Sandy’s new series of experimental film photographs. The images offer abstracted, dream-like scenes connected to energetic resonance at Global Black Diaspora historical sites related to liberation and cultural activity.
