What: ‘Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean’, conference
Where: Tropenmuseum, Linnaeusstraat 2, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
When: February 5 & 6, 2013
The conference is part of a two year-long research project led by Dr. Leon Wainwright (The Open Universiteit, UK) and Prof. Dr. Kitty Zijlmans (Universiteit Leiden). In late 2011 Wainwright published Timed out; Art and the transnational Caribbean. Participation is free but place is limited. Registration is possible at Marija Jaukovic, m.jaukovic@kit.nl.
On the short term film material of the conference will become available for viewing on the Open Arts Archive; on the longer term there will a review in the Open Arts Journal. In October 2013 there will be a second conference, now in London, UK. From the description of the conference: “The project explores how the understanding and formation of sustainable community for the Caribbean and its global Diaspora may be supported by art practice, curating and museums. It fosters networks of exchange and collaboration among academics, artists, curators and policymakers from the UK and the Netherlands, as well as various countries in the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean and their Diaspora.”
