Panel Discussion, Networks of Contemporary Art

Panel discussion: Networks of Contemporary Art Chair: Kitty Zijlmans This panel explores how networks of art practice, curating, art policies and museums may help to form a sustainable community for the Caribbean and its global diaspora. The overall aim of the project is to foster 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. How might existing networks and future ones interact?
