The concept of Caribbean Intransit is to provide a creative ‘meeting place’ for Caribbean artists to share their thought provoking ideas and works within a community of cultural producers, students, scholars, activists, and entrepreneurs. The Caribbean Intransit movement will function as a point of access for these individuals and groups, who in turn will then be able to use these resources as socio-political tools for progressive change within the Caribbean and its multiple diasporas. Each issue of Caribbean Intransit will showcase the views of a range of artists, academics and entrepreneurs concerning a particular theme. Participants are invited to submit works and connect with other contributors through response to their work. In this way, we hope to build a community invested in networking and creating new spaces for growth. We aim to identify community, artistry and entrepreneurship as modes of transition and connection for the Caribbean and its Diasporas.
The aim of this issue is to engage the potential of alternative and/or shared visions of the Caribbean(s). We invite critical dialogues that address questions of location and located-ness through the arts, culture and entrepreneurship among Caribbean peoples, not only as abstract ideas, but with reference to, and in support of, our enhanced survival, well-being and ongoing negotiations of identity.
Submissions are welcomed but not limited to the following themes.
