RIP Albert Huie

Albert Huie, brilliant and masterful Jamaican Painter, passed on Sunday January 31, 2010, at 89 years old. He passed in Baltimore, Maryland, where he resided. Huie is considered to be the father of Jamaican painting and in 2001 a book on his life and work was published. The title of the book is Albert Huie: Father of Jamaican Painting. It was written by Edward Lucie-Smith. Huie had the distinct pleasure of exhibiting his magical works of art in Jamaica, Canada, and the United States of America. He won many awards and was the recipient of two of Jamaica’s prestigious honors, Order of Distinction (OD) in 1983, and Commander of the Order of Distinction (COD) in 1992.

Another brilliant son of Jamaica has gone to the other side. RIP Albert Huie.

RIP Professor Rex Nettleford

Professor Honourable Ralston ‘Rex’ Nettleford, OM (Order of Merit, Jamaica’s third highest award), passed yesterday, at the George Washington Hospital, in Washington, DC, USA. Professor Nettleford was in Washington, DC, to attend a fundraiser for the University of the West Indies when he collapsed at his hotel. It was reported that he suffered a cardiac arrest which resulted in brain injury. He was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state and never regained consciousness. Professor Nettleford was one of Jamaica’s finest sons. He was an intellectual, a stalwart, and a regional and global icon. He was an author, academic, orator, choreographer, dancer, and cultural advocate. He passed hours before his 77 birthday, which would have been today.

Jamaica and the Caribbean will miss Professor Nettleford. Protecting and preserving our culture as a country and a region was very important to him. We found this video of Judith Laird interviewing Professor Nettleford on Youtube. This is one of his last interviews, if not his last. This interview occurred late November 2009, while Professor Nettleford attended and participated in The Commonwealth People’s Forum, which was held at the Cascadia Hotel, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.

Meet Drew McIntosh, Jamaica's First Superhero

drewmcintosh_01a
Nicholas Da Silva presents Dread and Alive, a comic book featuring Drew McIntosh, Jamaica’s first superhero. ‘Me don’ love fighting but me don’ love wicked either.’

On the small island of Jamaica, in the heart of the Cockpit Country, there once lived in isolation, a tribe of free-spirited people. Feared and respected for their intricate systems of guerilla warfare and their rebellious independence, the Jamaican Maroons resisted all those who tried to tame them and bring them into submission. They lived off the land and nurtured their culture among their young. Through years of the threat of enslavement and elimination, the Jamaican Maroons developed an inherent distrust of outsiders – with one exception…
