All the participants and the press expressed their appreciation for the quality
of the discussions, the speakers’ expertise and the broad representation of
the professional world of contemporary art.
Given the professed aim of the event, we thought it would be relevant to
report on its dynamic impact three years later in terms of contacts, networks,
projects and actors.
This period has enabled the participants to continue their exchanges and
meetings and join together to develop and test projects and lasting coopera-
tion in favor of contemporary Caribbean art, particularly in the following areas:
– The development of meetings among professionals
– The emergence of projects and new cooperative efforts
– The visibility of the actors and the projects in the international artistic scene
– The emergence of newapproaches (actors, aesthetics, forms of cooperation, etc.).
Various representatives of contemporary art networks were present at the
seminar, notably the AICA-SC and the Caribbean Crossroads of the World
(CCW), a project involving several institutions and international experts
in the preparation of a retrospective of Caribbean art

. As a result of the
exchanges that took place during the seminar, the HKW (House of World
Culture) in Berlin, a member of CCW, will receive artist Bertrand Grosol in
2012. The AICA-SC also strengthened its ties with the network, which has led
to internal meetings. The next one is scheduled to take place in October and
will be concerned with a project to enable artists and their works to circulate
throughout the Caribbean.

territorial et de qualification des acteurs, favorisant
ainsi l’émergence de projets structurants. Cet évé-
nement devait aussi contribuer au désenclavement
de la création artistique de la Caraïbe et à son ins-
cription dans un contexte élargi.
Aussi, il semblait essentiel de réunir différents
acteurs participant à la promotion de l’art contem-
porain de la Caraïbe et à son insertion sur la scène
internationale. Artistes, commissaires d’exposition,
