The Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI) and Contemporary And (C&) invites emerging art writers based and working in Caribbean contexts or diaspora to participate in a virtual Critical Writing Workshop to hone their writing skills by exploring the art-writing process and engaging in conversations about various writing practices and strategies as well as the challenges faced in different Caribbean contexts.
The Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI) is a curatorial and research platform at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) dedicated to promoting and supporting the artistic and cultural production of the Caribbean and its diasporas through exhibitions, fellowships, public programs, and collection development.
Following CCI’s goal of promoting cross-cultural dialogues and exchanges, the workshop will enable participants to expand their networks regionally and internationally and to explore the possibility of publishing on C& and in C& América Latina magazine, CCI Forum, and other outlets.
This Critical Writing Workshop is part of CCI’s ongoing effort to support and generate spaces for self-reflection and collective learning rooted in Caribbean perspectives and experiences. By facilitating conversations that bridge diverse approaches and languages, this workshop aims to encourage new collaborations and solidarities within and beyond the region.
