Andrew Jackson: From a Small Island

From a Small Island explores the psychological impacts of migration through, first, second and third generations of migrants from Jamaica. What happens when migrants stay and don’t leave? What are the consequences? What is the impact of migration from one small island to another?

Award-winning photographer, Andrew Jackson was commissioned to create a new series of work exploring identity, migration, memory and family. Following a visit to Jamaica in 2017, he investigates the identities of Jamaican Diaspora since the post-war migration to Britain, and the lives of second and third generation migrants born here.

From a Small Island was presented at MAC in 2018 as part of the Windrush Season.
