The Visual Arts Unit of the Department of the Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), Faculty of Humanities and Education, The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine will be hosting a special one day symposium, entitled Art, Design and Architecture in our Space: New Perspectives on Art and Design Practice in the Caribbean to be held at the Institute of Critical Thinking, UWI, St. Augustine on October 6th 2010.
This event e...volved from the 2009 UWI Sculptural Project, which was spearheaded by artist Dean Arlen and proposed the installation of seven sculptures designed by several young Trinidadian artists. One of the seven sculptures was installed on the St. Augustine campus and has subsequently opened the discussion around public art and design in Trinidad & Tobago.
The 2010 symposium aims to initiate a dialogue on issues that affect the practice of art, design and architecture in Trinidad & Tobago and the wider Caribbean. The DCFA and Mr. Arlen have collaborated to develop a series of themes for four panel discussions during the symposium on Wednesday 6th October 2010:
Art in Our Space
Design in Our Space
Architecture, Landscape and Urbanism in Our Space
Art, Design & Architecture and the wider Community
Sixteen panellists drawn from thefields of art, design and architecture, as well as researchers from related disciplines will present papers at the Symposium. The Symposium papers will be published after the event.
