Rewind/Forward

Description

Rewind/Forward is a two-part public art exhibition calling attention to the invisibility of the city’s soundsystem and bass music cultures. The project was conceptualized and developed by Bonjay’s Alanna Stuart, a Caribbean-Canadian music artist, curator and researcher, as a means to stimulate conversation on how we typically engage with the Jamaican cultural forms and legacies we’ve inherited

Rewind/Forward features monumental portraits, taken by Jamaican-Canadian photographer Jorian Charlton, of five notable Toronto selectors (DJs) and soundsystem owners: Heather "Live Wire" Bubb-Clarke, Tasha Rozez, Ace Dillinger, Nino Brown, and Bambii. Together, their individual experiences offer a fuller view of local bass music culture
