Treat your Dad to a tour this Father’s Day! Fathers, like mothers, are pillars in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. They not only are positive male role models for their children, but also contribute to their emotional health, overall wellness, social development and self-respect. With the aim of recognizing the good Fathers in our country and celebrating their invaluable contributions to the society, Kingston Creative will be hosting two curated tours of the Water Lane Murals, in addition to a games entertainment segment.
The pulsating Rhythm of Jamaican music permeates our Feel De Riddim route, and you’ll probably dance your way through many of the murals in this segment of our Art District which boasts an iconic wall of fame with portraits of some of the legendary greats! But you will also feel de riddim of Jamaica’s influence in many other spheres including dance, sports, and even social and political activism.
The murals along this route artfully mix the playful with the serious, as the Artists pull you into a world that is part fact and part fiction. And as you feel de riddim and the push and pull of every day Jamaican life colourfully reflected on the walls around you, you may well find yourself agreeing with the Artist whose comical piece concludes – “Jamaica is not a Real Place” ……or is it?
