Photos from Akeem Smith's show No Gyal Can Test presented in NYC - exhibition/archive of Jamaican Dancehall in NYC and Jamaica.
Though this show was conceived of prior to COVID 19 pandemic, I think it holds a lot of potency in our current state of focusing on archive, preservation and nostalgia. Highlighting the women and femmes of the Dancehall scenes, the show takes us through the fashion, movement and culture of the nightlife parties.
