Creative Approaches to Race and In/security in the Caribbean and the UK (CARICUK) is a year-long collaboration between artists and educators. It aims to transform discussions about race and anti-racism in UK higher education institutions. It will redefine race as an in/security. This is based on the model of Caribbean In/securities, which sees security and insecurity as perspectival and relational terms that people negotiate in their everyday lives and through creative means. Understanding race as an in/security means that education institutions and black communities should negotiate anti-racist outcomes between them, with listening and change on both sides. The implication is that the fellowship aims to push institutional race discourse beyond inclusion and deficits, and towards education institutions actively participating in anti-racist learning and institutional transformation. Over a twelve-month period, Dr Pat Noxolo's fellowship will move through three stages: provocation, participation and transformation. Three artistic provocations, designed to provoke discussion about Caribbean and racialised in/securities, will each be followed by public discussion events. An online learning pack for schools, about Caribbean and racialised in/securities, will lead into a large-scale arts participation and exhibition. Finally, three short films and a publishing experiment will push towards institutional transformation. The bedrock of the project is that UK higher education can learn from Caribbean In/securities, because the UK's current racial disparities are an outcome of its historical relationships with the Caribbean, whilst the environmental and climatic in/securities that the Caribbean is now facing show the UK, itself a collection of small islands, the in/securities it will have to deal with in the future. Historically it was in the Caribbean, during the five centuries of European colonial rule (featuring enslavement, indentureship, and the establishment of crucial aspects of global production and trade) that the UK created its own peculiar forms of racialised hierarchy. These broadly informed the racialised hierarchies in Britain's later colonial practice across Asia and Africa, and have also informed everyday struggles over race relations in the UK for at least the last seventy years, since the symbolism of the arrival of the Empire Windrush from the Caribbean in 1948. Moreover, in the 21st century the Caribbean, rich in global resources and connections, is also key to revealing everyday negotiations over many other forms of in/security that the UK, and islands across the world, will have to negotiate for survival - for example storms and hurricanes, sea level rise, food in/security and the struggle for sustainable livelihoods.Geography is a key discipline through which to engage a range of overlapping publics - academics, educators, black communities, and arts practitioners - in thinking about this wide range of shared in/securities, whilst centring black perspectives on race in UK higher education. In addition to its expertise around climate science, UK Geography is in the middle of a slow and painful process of reflecting on the discipline's historical and contemporary complicity in the explorations and exploitations that laid the groundwork for the racialised inequalities and global catastrophes that we now face. In particular, decades of calls to transform institutions and to promote anti-racist practice in secondary and higher education teaching and research are building towards an effective shift, and Dr Noxolo, as part of the RACE group of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), is at the forefront of this effort. UK Geography is therefore a highly fertile terrain for mounting a year-long programme of creative engagements that draw on existing research on Caribbean in/securities in order to transform institutional practices around race.

加勒比地区和英国的种族和内部/安全的创造性方法（CARICUK）是艺术家和教育工作者之间为期一年的合作。它旨在改变英国高等教育机构关于种族和反种族主义的讨论。它将把种族重新定义为一种安全感。这是基于加勒比不安全模式，该模式将安全和不安全视为人们在日常生活中通过创造性手段谈判的视角和关系术语。将种族理解为一种不安全因素意味着教育机构和黑人社区应该在双方倾听和改变的情况下，就反种族主义的结果进行谈判。这意味着，该研究金旨在推动机构种族话语超越包容和赤字，并朝着教育机构积极参与反种族主义学习和机构转型。在12个月的时间里，帕特·诺克索洛博士的研究金将经历三个阶段：激发、参与和转变。三个艺术挑衅，旨在引发讨论加勒比和种族化的/安全，将分别由公共讨论活动。一个针对学校的在线学习包，关于加勒比和种族化的证券，将导致一个大规模的艺术参与和展览。最后，三部短片和一个出版实验将推动机构转型。该项目的基石是，英国高等教育可以从加勒比地区的不安全感中学习，因为英国目前的种族差异是其与加勒比地区历史关系的结果，而加勒比地区现在面临的环境和气候不安全感显示了英国，本身就是一个小岛屿的集合，它将不得不在未来处理不安全感。从历史上看，正是在加勒比地区，在欧洲殖民统治的五个世纪期间（以奴役、契约制和建立全球生产和贸易的关键方面为特征），英国创造了自己独特的种族化等级制度。这些广泛地影响了英国后来在亚洲和非洲的殖民实践中的种族化等级制度，也影响了英国至少在过去70年中关于种族关系的日常斗争，因为1948年来自加勒比海的帝国温德鲁什的到来具有象征意义。此外，在21世纪，加勒比地区拥有丰富的全球资源和联系，也是揭示英国和世界各地的岛屿为生存而必须谈判的许多其他形式的in/security的日常谈判的关键-例如风暴和飓风，海平面上升，粮食/安全和可持续生计的斗争。地理是一个关键的学科，通过它从事一系列重叠的公众-学者，教育工作者，黑人社区，和艺术从业者-在思考这一广泛的共享/安全，同时集中在种族在英国高等教育的黑人观点。除了其在气候科学方面的专业知识外，英国地理学还处于一个缓慢而痛苦的过程中，该过程反映了该学科在探索和开发中的历史和当代共谋，为我们现在面临的种族化不平等和全球灾难奠定了基础。特别是，几十年来呼吁改革机构，促进中等和高等教育教学和研究中的反种族主义做法，正在朝着有效转变的方向发展，Noxolo博士作为皇家地理学会（RGS）RACE小组的一员，处于这一努力的最前沿。因此，英国地理是一个非常肥沃的地形，用于安装一个为期一年的创造性参与计划，利用现有的研究加勒比在/证券，以改变围绕种族的机构做法。
