We are excited to share a new book from Royal Museums Greenwich’s spotlight series, The Keeper of All The Secrets: Ceramic Art, Botanicals and the Caribbean Market Woman. The book includes new poems on the market woman by Jacqueline Bishop and texts by Dr Errol Francis, Angela Billings and Victoria Lane.
The book is currently available to buy.
The book features an important acquisition that Culture& has facilitated, the titular The Keeper of All The Secrets (2023) by artist and writer Jacqueline Bishop, a tea service that is the stage for conversations around empire, enslavement and female resistance in the Caribbean.
The Keeper of All The Secrets (2023), Jacqueline Bishop.
This forms part of Culture&’s programme Time, Space and Empire (2024-2025), a multi-site, cross-arts programme examining the concepts of time, space, and the development of Britain’s sea power during the expansion of its former empire in relation to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site in Southeast London.
