The artist
Joslyn Walker-Peart
Artist. Thinker. Historian. Storyteller.
Joslyn Walker-Peart was a Jamaican-born artist whose work explored slavery, migration, identity, landscape and the Black experience. His collection was created not simply to be viewed, but to educate, challenge and preserve history.
Discover Joslyn's story“There is only one race—the human race.”
