The Caribbean creative economy generates value every day - through carnival, festivals, artists, cultural workers, intellectual property, networks, audiences, and communities. Yet much of this value remains undocumented, unmapped, and therefore underfinanced. Join Caribbean InTransit in partnership with Carib Biz Network, the Inter-American Development Bank and other partners for a powerful conversation exploring how visuality and the arts, data, mapping, and ecosystem intelligence can unlock new pathways to capital for the Caribbean and African creative sectors.
As part of The Meeting Place Festival V: Urban Transit – Carnival of Creatives, this launch event brings together leaders from culture, finance, policy, technology, and development to explore how we move: (This launch activation kicks off bigger things to come in October!!)
