Edna Manley artists

Here are some more photos of the Digicel downtown mural taken by Berette Macaulay for YardEdge.

For the past month an exciting new project has been underway in downtown Kingston by the waterfront, a Digicel commissioned art mural covering some 2000 + sq ft of aluminum zinc walls enclosing a city block construction site of the phone company’s new head office.

Digicel commissoned artists from six downtown art organizations to put together creative teams for the job totalling nearly 40 painters, including young students from Edna Manley and Studio 174, self taught community artists, and established veterans in the art world. See more from PART 1

YardEdge once again welcomes a guest post from fellow Blogger, Berette Macaulay, who ventured downtown to investigate the Digicel downtown mural…

For the past month an exciting new project has been underway in downtown Kingston by the waterfront, a Digicel commissioned art mural covering some 2000 + sq ft of aluminum zinc walls enclosing a city block construction site of the phone company’s new head office.

Digicel commissoned artists from six downtown art organizations to put together creative teams for the job totalling nearly 40 painters, including young students from Edna Manley and Studio 174, self taught community artists, and established veterans in the art world.

Each colourful group creation depicts either a historical or contemporary aspect of downtown culture, designed by group leaders or collaboratively.

The rough estimate for the construction of Digicel’s head office is two to four years which means the mural won’t be permanent, but it will be a bright addition to the downtown environs for a reasonable period.

It’s just a block away from the National Gallery, Studio 174, and Roktowa – making this neck of the woods a hot spot not only for an inspiring art walk, but also to perhaps witness the real beginnings of a revitalized downtown Kingston scene.

Chef Paul Griffith - photo contributed by Keisha Witherspoon

YardEdge once again welcomes Guest Blogger, Ian Ferguson who recently chatted with Paul Griffith, an accomplished chef from Barbados now based in South Florida. (Yes, we know he’s not Jamaican but every now and then YardEdge takes the opportunity to showcase our talented Caribbean brothers and sisters).

Chef Paul has been praised as being one of the most exciting young “culinary adventurers” in South Florida and has cooked for some of the biggest names in the Industry including Denzel Washington, Enrique Iglesias, Lenny Kravitz, Sean “Diddy” Combs and others blending the flavors of his island with cuisine from around the world. ”Chef Paul” shares with Ian a glimpse of his life story and what keeps him going.

YardEdge: Some people may know your story, but how did you become a chef?

Chef Paul: Hmmm, good question. How does one really become a chef? LOL Well I loved to cook as a kid, watching my mother and grandmother cook intrigued me into how food was made. Well, to be honest, I was quite greedy, and if they didn’t make it for me, I guess I had to learn how to make it myself. LOL Attending culinary school at Johnson & Wales University and acquiring my B.A in Culinary Arts also certainly added to me becoming a chef.

YardEdge: When did you first realize that you wanted to become one?

Chef Paul: It was around age 7 or 8, at home one summer watching “The Frugal Gourmet” and Jeff Smith make pizza dough which made me be in the mood for pizza. Needless to say, the oversized hard dough sour cookie I produced didn’t deter me from keep trying and trying again till it was perfected and I started selling pizzas at school for extra money. Young Entrepreneur. LOL

YardEdge: How did you first get discovered as a talented chef?

Chef Paul: My friend in Culinary School Simone Greg was looking for someone to help out with preparing meals for the legendary reggae band from Jamaica, Inner Circle at their new studio in Miami. I wasn’t too familiar with the band but I was sure enough familiar with their hits “Sweat” & “Badboy!” It was at this studio over the next 6 years or so ( I lose count) that people started to comment on my talents and started to ask questions about my cooking.

I owe so much to Inner Circle as they were my early critics towards my craft and guided me on what tasted good or not. They weren’t afraid to tell me, “Chef hit a BOOM or lauw that” LOL It was when I was hired full time by mega produced Dallas Austin that I realized people were taking notice of what I was doing.

YardEdge: How would you describe the food that you prepare?

Chef Paul: Fusion cuisine is how I would describe it. I don’t stick to one particular region or the other as it can be limiting in culinary growth. Exploring all types of cuisine allows for more induction of flavours, colours, textures and visual appeal. I’m always walking in the supermarkets or general markets just looking at the new products (local or international) that came in and how those products can be incorporated in my style of cooking. Nothing is off limits from me really. LOL

YardEdge: What was it like to be mentored by one of Jamaica’s most inspirational chefs (Simone Gregg)?

Chef Paul: Simone is one of the gentlest souls I know out there and I’ve learnt so much from her from the cooking aspect to the business aspect to just knowing how to represent one self. I owe her so much gratitude for how she has helped shaped my career.

YardEdge: Does Simone Gregg still influence how you approach the preparation of food?

Chef Paul: HAHAHAHA, this sounds like a trick question. LOL Simone’s personality is an influence itself and yes I’ve taken plenty notes from her and how she is as a person. Humble, happy, soft spoken and driven toward a goal without stepping on anyone’s feet. This is all translated into the way I think when I cook or prepare meals for my clients. Believe it or not, your personality and attitude is heavily reflected into your food or how people relate to your culinary tastes.

YardEdge: You are from Barbados, and have this influence of the Jamaican culture in you now; do you have any plans to open a restaurant in Barbados or Jamaica?

Chef Paul: I would say that I have heavy influence of island flavours. Even though I am from Barbados, I can make a mean curry chicken or ox tail. Don’t ramp with me! LOL

I don’t really have any plans to open a restaurant in either country but I do have secret plans that heavily involve my island heritage. 

YardEdge: Have you ever thought of doing a reality show such as “Top Chef” / a show on the Cooking Channel?

Chef Paul: No, not really. I have been asked to do one or two (won’t mention which ones) however I would like to sail down this river of life on my own steam. I like reality shows but wouldn’t see myself on someone else’s show.

YardEdge: Have you ever prepared a main course after slaughtering it yourself?

Chef Paul: LOL, if you are asking if I have ever prepared a disaster dish, oh yes I have. That is as far as I’ll go with that one. LOL *Embarrassed but thankful for the experience. LOL

YardEdge: Are you incorporating any sustainable cooking in your repertoire?

Chef Paul: I prefer to use Organic products and methods of preparation that help reduce my footprint on this earth. I normally don’t deep fry and this is part of the reason (in addition to healthy cooking).

YardEdge: Who is your favorite chef?

Chef Paul: My Favourite chef? I would have to say my Mother and Grandmother. They are the best chefs I know. I do like Ming Tsai however, his use of fresh ingredients and simple but flavorful cooking methods are appealing.

YardEdge: What inspires you?

Chef Paul: My uncle, who just passed, Dr. Timothy Greaves: my father, Dr. Donn Greaves and Denzel Washington. They have all played such an intricate part in my early development as a chef that it was humbling to have even had the opportunity to listen to their advice.

YardEdge: What are your other passions?

Chef Paul: My other passions are listening to people, meeting new people and learning new things. I also have a serious passion for home theater and reading or listening to audio books. Nerd Alert! LOL Also, I volunteer significantly for several non-profit organizations in the South Florida area and that is a passion that I will never give up. I truly think that giving back is essential to the balance of life.

YardEdge: Favorite meal to cook?

Chef Paul: Wow, favourite meal to cook? I am such a simple eater when it comes to preparing items for myself however I would say that my fav thing to prepare might be My broiled Miso salmon. Well, I gave this recipe to a friend of mine who cooked it for her then boyfriend who is presently her husband. (She claims the recipe helped win him over) They are still married by the way and that was 7 yrs ago. I would say that dish has some special something to it. 

YardEdge: How do you find living and working in Florida?

Chef Paul: I love Florida. It offers so much originality and culture that makes being a chef an inspiring career to have here. Florida truly is a melting pot especially with the atmosphere which is similar to being in Barbados.

YardEdge: Tell us about your latest/upcoming projects?

Chef Paul: Well, I have a few things that I am working on however in August, I will be releasing my first book entitled “Treat your woman right 101.” Yes, you read that correctly. A chef writing a book about treating Woman: what can I say, Mr. Romantic. Guess you will have to wait till August to see if I know what I am talking about or not.

YardEdge: Any regrets?

Chef Paul: I don’t like to regret anything in life. Everything is a learning experience and we grow from them, the good things and especially the bad. So I would have to say No to that question. Well, maybe not taking pictures with some of my clients, that could be a regret however I prefer to remain professional when working for my high end clients.

YardEdge: Final thoughts?

Chef Paul: I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer these questions and for readers to learn a bit more about me. In my daily routine, I’ll continue my efforts to spread the word about not drinking and driving, my volunteer efforts and treating your fellow man with respect. We are only here for a short time and it can be such a pleasurable experience if we take the time to treat each with respect and love.

Thank you for the experience and opportunity.

Claude McKay

YardEdge is pleased to welcome this contribution by Jamaican writer Opal Palmer Adisa.

Opal Palmer Adisa has written extensively on a wide range of topics ranging from children’s issues to the environment, in either in poetry, prose or essay. A writer and motivational speaker, Dr. Palmer Adisa has lectured and read her work throughout the United States, Europe, South Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.  She is also an award-winning poet and prose writer who has twelve titles to her credit, including the novel, It Begins With Tears (1997).

IN SEARCH OF CLAUDE MCKAY

As I sat outside in one of the central cafés in Tetouan, Morocco in July, the small town an hour plus from Tangiers in which Claude McKay lived during the 1930s, I half hoped to see McKay, his duppy-self, walk up to greet and welcome me as a fellow Jamaican writer, walking the same path he did. I fantasized about meeting someone who would fondly say, “I knew him then, but I was just a little boy, not even coming to his knee.” Or perhaps I would find a tree with his name etched in it, or even more auspicious, a plague proclaiming the fact that he once lived and wrote from here; I half hoped as I walked the streets that perhaps McKay treaded these same streets. But I know the central town of Tetouna where I sat and drank cappuccino was not as modern then as it is today. That when McKay lived here it was a different place, certainly from his travelogue.

That Claude Mckay is one of the greatest writers to come out of Jamaica is a fact, not publicized enough.

That I traveled in a public car with five other men, not speaking either French or Arabic, to Tetouna seeking McKay’s presence is a fact. How did he get here I wondered. Was it a lover he met who invited him to come and see North Africa. Was it a man or a woman? I decided it would be decidedly a man who issued the invitation, if there was an invitation.

That McKay was bi-sexual is also a fact.

And Why Morocco? Did McKay dream about visiting Morocco as a boy or young man growing up in Jamaica as I dreamed about visiting Egypt? Did he plan to visit north African country, or was it just a chance opportunity? Did he see any similarities between Morocco and Jamaica? Did he feel at home there? As a lone black woman, unveiled, I got some stares, some young men fondly hollered at me, “Hello, African woman.” Moroccons do not consider themselves African, at least not related to their darker brothers and sisters from the rest of Africa.

That I knew nothing of McKay while in Jamaica, even though I attended a preparatory school and later one of the best high schools for girls in Jamaica in the late 60’s is also fact.

That I discovered him when I moved to New York while combing through the Harlem writers is also a fact.

That his poem, “If We Must Die” was quoted by Winston Churchill “as a rallying cry to call the British into sustained battle against the Nazi,” is also a fact.

That when I was earning my MA in English & Creative Writing in California in 1980, and I elected to do the required comprehensive essay and oral presentation on McKay as one of the two poets I had to do. However, initially, my advisory said I could not do McKay because he had not heard or read him and therefore he was not a major writer. I protested and brought him proof, and was approved, is also a fact.

That McKay’s “Tropic of New York,” is one of my favorite’s poems because it gives voice to familiar loves, is also a fact.

Bananas ripe and green, and ginger root

Cocoa in pods and alligator pears,

And tangerines and mangoes and grape fruit,

Fit for the highest prize at parish fairs,

Sat in the window, bringing memories

of fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills,

And dewy dawns, and mystical skies

In benediction over nun-like hills.

My eyes grow dim, and I could no more gaze;

A wave of longing through my body swept,

And, hungry for the old, familiar ways

I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.

Claude McKay

That McKay, the youngest child, was born (Sept. 15, 1890, Jamaica; died May 22, 1948), Festus Claudius McKay in Nairne Castle near James Hill, Clarendon, Jamaica to Thomas Francis McKay and Hannah Ann Elizabeth Edwards, well-to-do peasant farmers who had enough property to qualify to vote, is also a fact. That I am also the youngest in my family, and lived in Clarendon for two years, is a fact.

That in 1912, Jamaican Institute of Arts and Sciences, awarded him the gold medal, for two volumes of poetry, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads, both 1912, written in the Jamaican dialect.

That in 1912 McKay left for the U.S. to attend Booker T. Washington’s Tuskegee Institute, and was shocked by the potent racism he encountered is also a fact. That I left Jamaican in 1970 for New York and was surprised by the ignorance and misperception of Jamaica many people had, is also a fact.

That McKay, just like me, read W. E. B. Du Bois’ Souls of Black Folk, which influenced and stirred his political involvement, is also a fact.

That in 1914 McKay decided he did not want to be an agronomist and moved to New York, where he married his childhood sweetheart Eulalie Lewars, is also a fact.

That once in New York he met some of the major writers of the time and was a regular contributor and editor with The Liberator, the leading journal of avant-garde politics and art, and that while there he had affairs with both men and women, is also a fact.

That in 1929, McKay earned the Harmon Foundation Award for distinguished literary achievement, from NAACP, for Harlem Shadows and Home to Harlem, is a celebrated fact. And less that ten years later, 1937, the prestigious James Weldon Johnson Literary Guild Award, is also a fact.

That McKay’s novel, Banjo: A Story without a Plot (1929), and his presence in France influenced Léopold Sédar Senghor, Aimé Césaire, and other pioneers of the Negritude literary movement, is a fact not often mentioned.

That McKay moved to Morocco in 1930, but his financial situation forced him to return to the United States in 1934, is a sad fact.

That McKay did a twelve-year sojourn through Europe, the Soviet Union, and Africa, is also a fact.

Although McKay never returned to Jamaica, that Jamaica was always on his mind, evident by the title of some of his works: Banana Bottom (1933); the first part of his autobiography, A Long Way from Home (1937), and his second My Green Hills of Jamaica (1979), published posthumously, is also a fact.

That McKay in his autobiography, A Long Way from Home, sums up his life thus: “I have nothing to give but my singing. All my life I have been a troubadour wanderer, nourishing myself mainly on the poetry of existence. And all I offer here is the distilled poetry of my experience,” is also a fact.

That similar to McKay, I am a poet, novelist, and journalist, is also a fact.

That McKay looks like my father is a debatable fact.

That I love and respect who and what he was and how despite opposition he lived his life, fiercely and freely, and that he serves as a model for my own life is also a fact.

That like McKay Jamaica remains in my heart and fuels my work is a fact.

And that I too am a traveler and sojourner like McKay, is a fact.

That my search for Claude McKay returns me back home and to self is a wonderful fact to realize.

Virginia Burke

This past Saturday, Bookland on Knutsford Boulevard hosted a cooking demonstration and book signing with Virginia Burke, author of two Jamaican cookbooks, Eat Caribbean and Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen. The event was well attended by foodies, bloggers and cooking enthusiasts who watched and listened attentively as Virginia ably demonstrated how to cook escoveitched chicken (yes, chicken not fish) and pumpkin cornmeal fritters with apple love sauce.

Virginia made it look so easy that even I, who is hardly a chef, was tempted to try the recipes, all of which are found in her two cookbooks. Both books contain many fabulous recipes, both traditional and modern, using flavours and foods from the Caribbean. Both books are also beautifully illustrated and so just nice to thumb through and you can get them locally at Bookland and other leading bookstores, as well as online in the rest of the world.

After the cooking demonstration, the audience was invited to sample the delicious and relatively healthy dishes. I also learned two things I didn’t know, firstly that white pepper was simply finely ground black pepper, and secondly that coconut oil is actually delicious with certain dishes and not as bad for you as we’ve been led to believe.

I bought the Eat Caribbean book and today I’m trying to make the black bean dip! Looking forward to the next “cooking demonstration”!

YardEdge had a chat with Douglas Reid of Grosvenor Galleries about his urban poster collection on now at the gallery, his upcoming show, the Dudus Chronicles, and the state of Jamaican art today.

YardEdge: What got you started collecting these street signs?

Douglas: From the first time I really noticed them, I found them irresistable.

YardEdge: What do think is artistically significant/culturally relevant about them?

Douglas: “Fine Art” is unfortunately inaccesible to many, and only available from a fairly limited number of outlets (generally Art Galleries), and to me has become somewhat removed from our day-to-day reality. The signs represent a visual, stylistic, and literal language employed by a different, typically non-gallery sector of Jamaica to publicise events, and generally communicate with the public, with a wide distribution, so-much-so that many people probably hardly notice them, being somewhat de-sensitised, and this exhibition allows “gallery-goers”, and anyone else that might be interested, an opportunity to see about 90 of my best and most varied signs up close, and all in one place.

YardEdge:  How long will they be available/on display?

Douglas: The show will continue it’s run until the 19th August.

YardEdge: Tell us a bit about the gallery- how did you get started? What’s your vision? What are you trying to achieve, etc?

Douglas: I started in the gallery business almost 25 years ago, because of my interest in the various art forms, and types of artistic expression that I had had the good fortune of being exposed to. Like other galleries, I want to show “good work”, but I think we distinguished ourself early on as a gallery that was willing to show much less “main stream” art, and art that was much more experimental. I have always wanted to raise the awareness of this type of art, and in so doing, broaden the spectrum of the art that is available to us.

YardEdge: How would you describe the state of Jamaican art today?

Douglas: Jamaican art today still has a hold on me. Many individuals continue to make accomplishments, and push certain barriers. One sad limitation, is that other boundaries continue to imprison us. One such limitation, and boundary that we shy away from, is the duty to report and chronicle our experiences, by documenting them as our history unravels, before the essence of these experiences are lost.

One prime example, is that the only artist known by me to document the recent chaos in Tivoli, is a visiting artist from Belize. Actually, the next show is scheduled to open on Saturday 21st August, and we intend to show the works of this Belizean artist by the name of Hubert Neil, Jr.

In my 25 years in the art business in Jamaica, I have seen very little “social commentary” that grapples with the problems that are unique to us. I made reference to this tendency above, where I stated that I think we we are somewhat removed from our reality, choosing to ignore the more painful aspects of our existance. Were we more accepting of our reality, we may eventually overcome many of the woes that currently plague us.

YardEdge: Other thoughts?

Douglas: Our talents in the visual art arena, are akin to our talents in the musical sphere. The only difference being that we may have to visit a gallery to appreciate this fact, instead of simply turning on a radio. The results are no less pleasing though, so come on in.

Grosvenor Galleries is located at 1 Grosvenor Terrace, which is off Constant Spring Road, at the very top of Constant Spring Road, near Manor Park but on the left hand side going up, opposite Manor Park Plaza.

Our opening hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays . We can be reached by phone on 924-6684 or e-mail at grosvenorgallery@cwjamaica.com or jamaicanart@hotmail.com

YardEdge: Thx. much!
