Group show, "Under the Plantain Tree: Notes on Liberation" was curated by Dr. Margarita Lila Rosa () and opened this Juneteenth at JCAL! The show uses the plantain tree as a point of departure for conversations around migration, memory, and resilience across generations and geographies. The accompanying screening of The Inkwell extended those ideas into cinema, placing a comedic twist to the contemporary artistic inquiry surrounding Black youth, family, and identity. Together, the Under The Plantain Tree offers an opportunity to sit with images and stories that continue to travel long after their point of origin.

The Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning brings together sculpture, film, and large-scale installation to explore the cultural routes and inheritances of the Black Atlantic. JCAL is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm; closed Sundays, Mondays, and major holidays.
