Creative Approaches to Race and In/security in the Caribbean and the UK (CARICUK)

加勒比和英国种族和安全的创造性方法(CARICUK)是艺术家和教育工作者之间长达一年的合作。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。这是以加勒比地区的安全模式为基础的，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前瞻性和关联性术语。将种族理解为一种内部/安全意味着教育机构和黑人社区之间应该就反种族主义的结果进行谈判，双方都应该倾听和改变。其含义是，该奖学金旨在推动机构种族话语超越包容性和赤字，并朝着积极参与反种族主义学习和机构转型的教育机构迈进。在12个月的时间里，帕特·诺克索洛博士的奖学金将经历三个阶段：挑衅、参与和转变。三个艺术挑衅，旨在引发关于加勒比海的讨论，并被种族主义in/证券，每一个都将是公共讨论活动。一个面向学校的在线学习包，关于加勒比海和种族主义in/证券，将导致一个大型的艺术参与和展览。最后，三部短片和一项出版试验将推动体制转型。该项目的基础是，英国高等教育可以向加勒比地区学习/安全，因为英国目前的种族差距是其与加勒比地区历史关系的结果，而加勒比地区目前面临的环境和气候/安全问题向英国展示了它未来将不得不处理的问题/安全问题。历史上，正是在加勒比海地区，在欧洲五个世纪的殖民统治(以奴役、契约和建立全球生产和贸易的关键方面为特征)期间，英国创造了自己独特的种族主义等级制度形式。这些广泛地反映了英国后来在亚洲和非洲的殖民实践中的种族等级制度，也反映了至少在过去70年里，英国每天都在为种族关系而斗争，这是自1948年从加勒比海来的帝国风之流的象征意义以来的。此外，在21世纪，拥有丰富的全球资源和联系的加勒比海地区也是揭示日常谈判的关键，这些谈判涉及英国和世界各地的岛屿为了生存而必须谈判的许多其他形式的移民/安全问题--例如风暴和飓风、海平面上升、粮食/安全以及可持续生计的斗争。地理学是一门关键学科，通过它可以让一系列重叠的公众--学者、教育工作者、黑人社区和艺术从业者--思考这种广泛的共同身份/安全，同时将黑人观点集中在英国高等教育中的种族问题上。除了在气候科学方面的专业知识外，《英国地理学》正处于一个缓慢而痛苦的过程中，它正在反思该学科在探索和开发中的历史和当代共谋，这些探索和开发为我们现在面临的种族主义不平等和全球灾难奠定了基础。尤其是，几十年来在中学和高等教育教学和研究中呼吁改革机构和促进反种族主义做法的呼声正在朝着有效转变的方向发展，作为皇家地理学会(RGS)种族小组的一部分，诺克索洛博士站在了这一努力的最前列。因此，英国地理是一个非常肥沃的领域，可以开展为期一年的创造性参与方案，利用现有的关于加勒比地区/证券的研究，以改变围绕种族的体制做法。

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.
