Participants:

Discussions ensued around the following topics:

Develop an exhibition project in the Caribbean linking the Caribbean with Britain, thematically centred on the history of sugar and rum. Develop an online gallery and open forum.
IBB shared their planned travel to other places in the Caribbean during 2016 to celebrate the IBB’s ten-year anniversary including their desire to work with other artist led initiatives across the region.
Make Tilting Axis (TA) happen every year in a different island. Make an effort to do the next edition there? Start the conversation with government. Keep TA alive and construct a network. Gave example of Palais de Tokyo – tanker idea/boat. TA might apply as a network to access a cruise ship or tanker. Use Videobrasil as a platform to speak about Tilting Axis at one of the festivals and invite curators, press etc. to learn more about TA and the Caribbean.
Develop (i) TA website/blog and (ii) Facebook page to keep up communication.
Next TA might focus on a curatorial theme. We do not know the world and the world does not know the Caribbean.
Develop a mentoring programme.
Use the contacts we have to support TA moving forward and Link out TA to all networks.
Consider support not only for young artists but think about how older artists can benefit. Develop regular peer review sessions for artists.
