Jacqueline Bishop's The Narratives of Migration at the National Museum Jamaica

National Museum Jamaica

10 – 16 East St
Kingston, Jamaica

On view March 27, 2026 through August, 2026

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

This exhibition brings together two distinct collections of ceramics. The first features works by Rebecca Brandon, a 19th-century Jewish businesswoman whose ceramics often reflected stereotypes of people of African descent.

In stark contrast, artist Jacqueline Bishop’s modern porcelain collection, “Narratives of Migration,” donated to the National Museum Jamaica in December 2025, offers a powerful reimagining of the Black experience. Her porcelain plates document her family’s Empire Windrush journey, shedding light on the broader realities of migration for many Jamaicans—their contributions, resilience, and ongoing struggle for dignity and recognition.

Narratives of Migration will showcase Jacqueline’s ceramics alongside Rebecca Brandon’s 19th century collection, offering a powerful juxtaposition of historical and modern perspectives on the Black experience. The exhibition will explore themes of migration, identity, and recognition.
