On Blank Canvas, your host, Amard Rolle, is joined by the effervescent Vice President of the Museums Association of Caribbean (MAC) Nyasha Warren; and Dean of Liberal and Fine Arts at the University of The Bahamas, Dr. Douglas Barkey, as they discuss the upcoming MAC Conference, which will be held in Nassau, March 1-5, 2023.
This conference’s theme, “Power of Museums: Relevancy, Advocacy, Transformation” invites presenters to reflect on the role and impact that museums have in their communities. Hosted by the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), in partnership with the Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBOB), the University of The Bahamas (UB), and Antiquities, Monuments and Museums (AMMC), the Caribbean-wide conference is a forum for the exchange of information and ideas amongst museums and cultural institutions in the Caribbean States and other countries where their diasporas are numerous.
