Dutty Lingo is a multi-media arts installation, oral history, cultural exploration, and special event project originally created by artist and creative producer Michael Barnes-Wynters in response to a commission from Tate Modern in 2012.
Through a series of residencies Dutty Lingo uses moving image, film, spoken word and music to explore the impact and influence of the tiny island of Jamaican on the people across the UK from the 1950’s through to the present day; its impact on creativity, culture and counter culture, the influence of artistic icons and fashion and how its changed the way we speak and dress.
