Dyckman Farmhouse Museum: Opening Reception – Soon Come, Likkle More by Jhanique Lovejoy

Come celebrate the unveiling of Soon Come, Likkle More at the Opening Reception! Free and open to the public.

Soon Come, Likkle More by Jhanique Lovejoy will be an installation of new, photographic works that transforms Dyckman Farmhouse Museum into an intimate, multigenerational portrait of Lovejoy’s Jamaican-American family’s migration, memory, and homemaking.

Drawing from her family’s archive, this exhibition will explore how Black Caribbean women document their lives and pass down history across borders and generations. Combining photography and domestic materials, the installation will situate her family’s story of remembrance within immigration and matrilineal legacy. Through this transformation, Lovejoy seeks to bridge Washington Heights/Inwood with Jamaica, crafting the spaces that Caribbean immigrants build for themselves within the diaspora.

On view at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum from June 6, 2026- October 24, 2026.

Jhanique Lovejoy (b. 2001) is a New York imagemaker whose practice engages with multiplicity through the lens of race and culture. Lovejoy is known for her deeply intimate portrayals of her relationships as a queer Jamaican-American artist, encompassing both familial and romantic connections. Utilizing alternative processes, collage, and insights from her musicological studies, she explores themes of family archives, love, and the preservation of Black family history. By delving into the complexities of recollection, Lovejoy’s work serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of Black Caribbean womanhood. She received her Bachelor’s in Photography and Ethnomusicology from Swarthmore College in 2023. She has shown her work at the Kolaj Institute, Soho Photo Gallery, List Gallery, Kitao Gallery, Sotheby’s, International Center of Photography, Smack Mellon, and The Cooper Union, and commissioned work for The Baldwin United Fund.
