The speakers did not focus as much on Dancehall as they did forms like Reggae, Reggaeton and Hip Hop, especially as they function in the Spanish speaking Caribbean (as this was the speakers area of expertise). The panelists especially touched on similar questions around availability and “selling out” as related to these musical forms. We’re hoping to have a podcast up in a few weeks, so please check back soon!

I know that Dancehall music has been under attack for its misogynist, homophobic, and violent lyrics. Other concerns circulate around dancehall culture raising questions about its susceptibility to global consumer markets as artists are hailed or reviled for their ability to not “sell out”. In looking towards music as a model that has re-tooled its vernacular to reach a larger audience, I wonder if the same risks that surround Dancehall culture might threaten visual representations that also attempt to broaden their influence? Do the walls of the museum protect art or isolate it? Likewise, if musical artists like Bounty Killer insist that his “nine” (gun) are necessary to garner attention, what might be necessary to garner attention of visual representations? Isn’t it possible that art might serve as a better model for music, than music for art? Or are the two mediums different enough that they can’t be fruitfully compared? What role has technology, such as the ability to make a comment like this electronically, played in making art more accessible?
