Return to Nine Mile
Project 9 Mile Phase 2! Mina and Che are heading back to 9 Mile with Tiffany, Mark and Kate to celebrate Bob Marley’s Birthday and continue building.
The purpose of this trip is to develop partnerships that will support arts and culture programming in 9 Mile. We will be meeting up with local dancers, musicians and radio personalities to learn about their role in the creation and preservation of the arts in Jamaica. The next step in the initiative will be to run a film and photo project telling the story of 9 Mile through the eyes of the youth participants. We hope to explore them in the richness of their community’s past, opportunities in the present and goals for the future, to create a space for leadership to flourish, and produce high quality media to garner support for continuing, community-led, arts and culture programming.
We are shooting and filming everything and want you to see it, so stay tuned for more posts!
