The Smithsonian Institute is presenting an exhibit, “DISCOVERING RASTAFARI!” at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. Ms. Moss is honored that her images from years of fieldwork have been included in this historic exhibition. You can view some of these images in her “SMITHSONIAN” gallery below.

"Discovering Rastafari!" explores the origins and religious practices of the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica and beyond. Using artifacts, rare photographs, and ephemera to explore the origins and religious practices of the movement in Jamaica, this exhibition takes viewers beyond the popular Jamaican music known as Reggae to the deeper roots of the Rastafari culture. Video footage featuring first-person testimony from male and female Rastafari of different ages, nationalities, racial and class backgrounds speak to Rastafari of unity and to the spread of the movement across the Caribbean and beyond over the past three decades.
