Jamaican artistes visit country pavilion at Expo 2025 Japan
Jamaica’s presence at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, is generating a wave of energy and excitement as the island shares its rich cultural heritage through dance, poetry, and music, all leading up to its National Day on August 6 — the country’s 63rd Independence and the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in Japan.
Participating under the expo’s theme ‘Designing Future Society for Our Lives’, Jamaica is featured in the ‘Connecting Lives’ sub-theme with its pavilion titled ‘Out of Many, One People: Let’s Link Up’.
