Curiosity is one my best friends!

This curiosity led me to begin research of the Maroons in Cockpit Country, Jamaica. I learned out about the seventy-year legacy of Bauxite mining and its ongoing operations on the island. The Jamaican government has 51% ownership in the company that is actively rewriting boundary lines and breaking UN recognized Maroon treaties. The majority of the island’s drinking water comes from Cockpit Country.

This series focuses on the element of fire. I imagine in a near future the Obeah, an outlawed witchdoctor in Jamaica is called upon to heal the island from climate devastation wrought by the bauxite mining industry.
