'Anything with Nothing', curated by National Gallery's chief curator, Charles Campbell, and assistant curator, Monique Barnett-Davidson, will feature specially commissioned works by 10 of Jamaica's notable street artists. Photographic and video documentation of art in inner-city communities, as well as the artists and the making of their work will also be on display.



Highlighting phenomena such as memorial murals, the valorisation of community and political heroes, and Rastafari-influenced works, the exhibition seeks to recognise these murals as an important artistic and social phenomenon that has a major impact on the visual culture of the island and the communities in which they reside.
