Leon Wainwright, Roundtable discussion Chair: Leon Wainwright Tropenmuseum The Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam (KIT, Royal Tropical Institute) On 5-6 February 2013, the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam (KIT, Royal Tropical Institute) hosted the project conference ‘Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean’. This is part of 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 diaspora. The second project conference will take place at the Institute of International Visual Arts, London (Iniva) in autumn 2013. The ‘Sustainable Art Communities’ project is a collaboration between The Open University and the University of Leiden, and in partnership with the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam and Iniva, the Institute of International Visual Arts, London.
