LECTURE - Vybz Kartel: Gaza vs. Babylon

In the organizer's words:

Vybz Kartel, born Adidja Palmer in 1976, is considered the enfant terrible of the Jamaican dancehall scene. Despite his imprisonment from 2011 to 2024, he remains the genre's biggest star for many. Patrick Helber's lecture shows how dancehall creates counter-narratives to racist and neo-colonial interpretations of Jamaica through artists like Kartel and creates an alternative archive of knowledge - using songs, videos, lyrics, tattoos and his book "The Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto"
