"Yardie" from the series ‘1987’ 16 x 16 archival print by pierre bennu

Before TV was 24 hours and everyone had air conditioning, folks used to hang outside of their building. The block I grew up on felt like a magical intersection of many Carribean islands - you could walk down the street & hear the music change as you passed from one building to another: Soca Calypso, Dancehall, Rockers. The Rastas were at the building near the corner. They taught me to play "box ball" & we’d always have great conversations. There was only one person in their circle who didn’t have locks & he still wore a wool knit hat all year round. No matter how hot it got, or how much soccer he played, he never sweated. That hat never left his head. I alway thought of that as a magical/super power.  Museum-quality posters made on thick and durable matte paper.
