Caribbean InTransit Vol. 3, Issue 6: ANTITHESIS/SYNTHESIS: FINE ARTS AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

Perhaps the belatedness of this issue is in itself an act of heritage-making. Ergo, perhaps its delayed release is an act of synthesis between the fine art being critiqued and the development of that artistic practice into cultural heritage as it has allowed us space and time to reflect, accept, further consume and popularize these artistic practices1. The production of a documentary record or analysis of art is one that is fraught, not simply because of the complexity of the works of art, concomitant with their surrounding power relations which the record interrogates, but due to the complex economic context in which the record must be produced. As an act of re-membering in itself, this delayed production of Caribbean InTransit’s sixth issue: Antithesis/Synthesis: Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, is nevertheless timely. As the current conjuncture finds us once again in that age old search for identity, the fine arts clashes and melds with cultural heritage as a key mode of re-formulation within a current global project of re-memorializing and re-historicizing.
