New Exhibition Explores Jamaica’s Rastafari Culture Jamaica’s Rastafari culture has been documented and its history detailed in a definitive exhibition now underway at the Institute of Jamaica in the island’s cultural capital, Kingston. The historic exhibition, ‘Rastafari: Unconquerable!’ examines the ‘Revelation of Rastafari’, the ‘Philosophy and Evolution of the Rastafari Movement’, the ‘Visit of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie to Jamaica’, as well as a historical review of the challenges experienced by Rastafarians in Jamaica. The exhibition marks the culmination of several months of detailed research and work to collect and document numerous images and historical narratives of the rise and global influence of the indigenous Rastafari Culture. Travelers to the island can also learn about Rastafari culture by visiting the Rastafari Indigenous Village in Montego Bay. At the village, visitors can experience the culture, language, music, dress, spirit and lifestyle of Jamaica’s Rastafarians. Visitors will also learn the self-sustaining and eco-friendly habits of the Rastafari people. The village is interactive and includes a tour of medicinal herbal gardens, arts and crafts and musical experience through drum rhythms and ancient chants. Those interested can visit RastaVillage.
