An exploration of the sharing of knowledge and resources beyond borders. 

“JUNE at Jamii”, under the vision of lead artist Nickeshia Garrick, explores the connection between the Caribbean and Central America through cross-cultural nuances and similarities in the customs, food, clothing, music, dances and rhythms. “Connectedness” reminds us that we are all part of the collective searching for moments to relate to one another. 

As Nickeshia says “I chose this theme because I have never truly understood or believed in the separation of borders. It is important to tell the stories of how our tribes shared knowledge, resources, food, adornment (and so much more), freely searching for lands we could take care of so that the land would take care of us. We all have this in common; searching for a place we can call home”. These stories should remind the community of how connected we are, and how sharing knowledge and finding similarities in our lived experiences bring the collective together instead of separating us.  

Join us at “JUNE at Jamii” with Nickeshia Garrick for a month of connection through shared stories that travel beyond borders.
