Second Conference

This is the second conference for the ‘Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean’ project, which is taking place at the Institute for International Visual Arts (Iniva, London) on 3rd and 4th December, 2013. ‘Sustainable Art Communities’ is a two-year international research project led by Dr Leon Wainwright (The Open University, UK), with Co-Investigator Professor Dr Kitty Zijlmans (Leiden University), funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC, UK). 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 diasporas.
