The Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM)

The Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM), founded in 1966 in London, was a collective of Caribbean writers, poets, musicians, and visual artists. It aimed to promote Caribbean culture, identity, and artistic expression, fostering a sense of community among creatives. CAM provided a platform for showcasing Caribbean talent, encouraging dialogue about Caribbean history and experiences, and challenging stereotypes. It played a significant role in raising awareness of Caribbean culture within the UK and internationally, influencing future generations of artists and scholars interested in Caribbean and postcolonial identity.
