“Pressure buss pipe,” a popular Jamaican saying, often has a negative, potentially explosive interpretation… As lead curator, David Scott, has noted, “Pressure can also be generative.”

From the curatorial team of lead curator, Professor David Scott & co-curators O’Neil Lawrence, Wayne Modest & Nicole Smythe-Johnson comes Kingston Biennial 2022: Pressure, which features a selection of the works of 24 local and diaspora artists.

The Kingston Biennial is presented by the National Gallery of Jamaica, a division of the Institute of Jamaica, under the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.
