Group exhibition
After the Island: Ornament and Ceramic Practice in the Jamaican Diaspora
Museum of the African Diaspora
Sep 30, 2026 – May 30, 2027 SoMa
Ceramics by PJ Anderson, Jacqueline Bishop and Sharon Norwood on Jamaican heritage and migration.
The three artists each have a different tie to Jamaica, and they use ornament and pattern on clay to deal with memory and colonial history. Anderson makes burnished, smoke-fired forms. Bishop adds collage to porcelain plates. Norwood’s sculptures repeat a curly line.
MoAD organized the show with the Black Artists’ Network in Dialogue and the Gardiner Museum, both in Toronto.
