Cultural Interruption and the 2003 UNESCO Convention. The Case of the Pilgrimage to Watt Town, St. Ann (Jamaica)

David Brown

Abstrak

The Revival Pilgrimage to Watt Town, Jamaica, exemplifies both the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage (UNESCO 2003) and the promotion of cultural diversity (UNESCO 2005). The practice combines history, rituals, music, dance, and spirituality, linking communities, youth, and ancestors, and ensuring cultural transmission. COVID-19 temporarily disrupted the celebrations, highlighting the vulnerability of sites and practices. The community’s adaptations, including modified rituals and safety measures, demonstrate cultural resilience and the capacity to sustain both continuity and vitality, in line with UNESCO guidelines and the 2015–2030 Sendai Framework.
