Reparations Now! CRJ10PP: Recognition. Justice. Development

About this opportunity

Through a grant from the inaugural Caribbean Culture Fund, we are pleased to announce this open call for submissions to a two-week visual art exhibition exploring the theme of reparations. Using the CARICOM  10-Point Plan for reparatory justice as a guide, we invite artists to submit artworks that explore the multifaceted concept of reparations, addressing historical injustices, collective healing, social justice movements, and envisioning paths towards reconciliation and restitution. Please see https://caricom.org/caricom-ten-point-plan-for-reparatory-justice/. This tripartite visual art exhibition will be held in galleries in Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. It highlights the urgency and importance of reparations. The intention is to educate the Caribbean about the critical issue of reparations, mobilise support for concrete actions to address systemic injustices and promote healing and reconciliation through creative expression. This exhibition is being coordinated by Blaqmango Consultants in Jamaica, Lewis’ Collection LCS Ltd. in Trinidad and Tobago, and  Culture&Arts for Love&Living (CALL Barbados)/The Artiverse Gallery.
