Although she never met her grandfather John Dunkley, whose exhibition—Neither Day nor Night—is currently on view at PAMM, Tina Dunkley feels a deep and profound connection to the work he made during his lifetime.

Tina Dunkley has maintained a professional career as an artist. She has danced with Katherine Dunham’s troupe, trained as a sculptor and is a talented songstress. Dunkley is also planning a multi-media exhibition about the war of 1812 that will explore the genealogy of her family, which has paternal roots in Jamaica and maternal ties to Trinidad.
