To support Embodied Histories: Art, Archive, and Memory in the Virgin Islands, a two-day brainstorming session organized by Crucian Heritage and Nature Tourism (CHANT) in Frederiksted, St. Croix, bringing together Virgin Islands artists and thinkers to exchange ideas, to address systemic barriers to accessing their history, and to initiate plans for a traveling exhibition showcasing Virgin Islands art and material culture. The convening fosters in-person dialogue, focusing on archive, memory, and storytelling, and lays the groundwork for the formation of an advisory board to guide the exhibition’s development and to ensure it reflects the community’s significant narratives.
