Agostinho Pinnock
Agostinho Pinnock (PhD) is a cultural geographer whose work focuses on the GeoHumanities. His research is located at the intersection between Black and Caribbean Studies, art-making and postcolonial histories. Agostinho earned a PhD at Loughborough University in which he explored how postcolonial artforms (visual culture, street dance) and the built environment recovered suppressed and redacted histories of ‘race’ in post-independence Jamaica.
Agostinho discusses Jamaican Creole histories in the context of (post)-colonialism, examining the impacts of the indigenous people, trans-Atlantic slavery, emancipation and independence in shaping the evolution of Jamaican (Patwa).
