The Caribbean Artists Movement

The Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), founded in 1966, was a cultural organization that brought together Caribbean writers, poets, musicians, and visual artists in London. Its aim was to promote Caribbean identity, creativity, and dialogue, highlighting the rich heritage and contemporary experiences of Caribbean people. CAM served as a platform for artists to share ideas, collaborate, and gain recognition, influencing the Caribbean cultural renaissance and fostering a sense of community and pride among Caribbean expatriates and their descendants. It played a key role in shaping Caribbean cultural identity during the post-colonial period.
