“This exhibit is an act of cultural preservation, an act of rebellion, a stride towards generational healing that has sent me on a journey through my family’s history to collect moments and sacred memories of my Grandma that have propelled us into this future.” @iamdonisha Join us for the launch of “The Garden that Rita Grew”on August 7th @citywinerynyc. The first installation, subtitled “The Garden that Rita Grew: My Grandma Rita”, will look at Rita Marley from the lens of her eldest granddaughter @iamdonisha, highlighting histories and moments of impact that have shaped the legacy of the Marley family beyond the celebrity. This is a preview of a larger exhibition and will feature a stunning collection of photographs and artwork curated by Donisha Prendergast, celebrating Rita Marley’s strength, resilience, and creativity. At 7pm, the stage will light up with a special performance by @iamsharonmarley and the Elements band to take audiences on a journey with stories from her childhood, touring years with Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers and her journey to preserve her mother’s work.

The vision is to preserve the footprint of Rita Marley in the community she grew up in, by promoting community development and access to continued education. “We saw Trenchtown and Shantytown as a university, as a place where we learned to survive, to survive the poverty, to survive the harassment, to survive the gangsters, to survive all these things. It was sort of learning a lesson, you know?.” @officialritamarley Click link in bio to get your tickets now!
