Tilting Axis 3: Curating the Caribbean 
May 18-20, 2017
National Gallery of the Cayman Islands

The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) welcomed over 80 guests to Tilting Axis, a roving meeting conceptualized by ARC Magazine and the Fresh Milk Art Platform Inc., that moves in and out of the Caribbean region on an annual basis.

The conference brought together arts professionals interested in, and committed to, expanding contemporary visual art practice across all linguistic areas of the region. Participants included those based in the Caribbean and its diasporas, professionals working in the coastal rim of the Caribbean, as well as global professionals whose research and practice is influenced by the region. The goal of Tilting Axis is to facilitate opportunities for those who are living and working in the Caribbean, to increase interest and understanding of this region’s contemporary visual practice while contributing to a healthy cultural eco-system and purposeful growth for the Caribbean creative sector.
