In word, music and pictures, the exhibition follows the story of the soundsystem from Jamaica in the 1950s to the UK in the 60s and 70s, and then to Europe. The soundsystems gave birth to ska,rocksteady, reggae, dub, dancehall, hip-hop, jungle and drum and bass – and taught nations and generations how to dance! Jamaican artist Freestylee illustrates the story with additional artwork by Mau Mau.
After opening in Berlin in September, and showing in Amsterdam in October, the Exhibition travels to Dublin for five days in early November.
SOUND SYSTEM: THE HIDDEN HISTORY
The story of the sound system is one of technological innovation, creative enterprise and musical genius, but it is also a story of deep spiritual and cultural significance.
From its first incarnation in 1950s Jamaica, the sound system was the radio of the people. Through artists and producers from Prince Buster to King Tubby and Augustus Pablo, the music expressed the aspirations, sufferings and joys of everyday life.
The exhibition follows the growth of sound system culture from Kingston across Jamaica, to the UK and then to Europe, spreading the sounds of ska, rocksteady, reggae and dub and planting the seeds of a new generation of singers, musicians, DJs, producers and dancers.
THE EXHIBITION
The Dublin show will run from Wednesday 9th to Sunday 13th November, at the Little Green Street Gallery.
The text is written by Ronan Lynch, an historian of music who has written widely about reggae, politics and culture. He is editor and publisher of Irie Up magazine.
The show is designed by Paula Strzelecka, who is a graphic designer and photo editor of Irie Up magazine.
The artwork for the show is produced by Michael Thompson and Mau Mau. Thompson, also known as Freestylee, is a designer and graphic artist from Jamaica who specializes in political and revolutionary themes. He lives in the USA. Mau Mau is the English artist whose graphic works adorn many lanes and walls in Kingston, Jamaica, Berlin and other reggae hotspots around the world.
Admission is free.
EVENING PROGRAMME
There are several evening events planned to run alongside the exhibition. The official opening party is 6.30 on Wednesday night, 9th November. On Thursday night, at 7pm, we will be showing the Irish premiere of the film ‘Holding On To Jah’. On Friday night, Irieland Sound and guests will nice up the area from 8pm and the Dublin Reggae Crews will be on the decks on Saturday night, also from 8pm. There will be a second screening of the film at 2pm on Saturday afternoon.
