Description

What Needs Must:
The Community of Curatorial Practice, Climate Action and the Development of Critical ICH and Climate Action Work
at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society

The Institute for Museums, Heritage and Society (IMHS), School of Art History is delighted to welcome Kaye R.N. Hall, Education and Outreach Officer at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, for a guest lecture exploring the intersection of museums, community practice, climate action, and intangible cultural heritage (ICH).

Drawing upon her work at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, Hall will reflect on how community-led curatorial practice can respond to pressing social and environmental challenges within island contexts. The lecture will explore the development of critical approaches to heritage and climate action, and the evolving role museums can play in supporting resilience, intergenerational knowledge exchange, and community engagement.

This lecture forms part of the ongoing Shared Island Stories research collaboration between the University of St Andrews and the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, an ERC-selected and UKRI-funded project examining connections between Scotland and the Caribbean through the themes of history, heritage, sustainability, and youth engagement.
