Exploring island connections, heritage, and histories 🌊🏝️ As part of the @sharedislandsta project, @jamieallanbrown Research Fellow at @arthistorysta @uniofstandrews and @hall.kaye Education and Outreach Officer at the @barbadosmuseum visited the remarkable @mount_stuart on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. Particular reflection was given to Alberta Whittle’s powerful work ‘An Assembly or a ting’ which invites important conversations around heritage, memory, colonialism, belonging. Encounters such as these continue to inform Shared Island Stories’ commitment to dialogue, youth engagement, and rethinking heritage through island perspectives. 14 May 2026

Guest Lecture: Kaye R.N. Hall 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 @imhs.standrews @arthistorysta @uniofstandrews is delighted to welcome @hall.kaye Education and Outreach Officer at the @barbadosmuseum 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. Date: Wednesday 20 May 2026 Time: 2:30pm Venue: School 5, United College, University of St Andrews 06 May 2026

New publication out now 📘🌍 Hidden Stories, Entangled Spaces: Contested Island Heritage and Contemporary Art Curation, edited by @anasol13 and Professor Karen Brown, emerges from the Transnational Island Museologies Conference (2024), co-organised by @icofom_icom and the @uniofstandrews @arthistorysta as part of the @sharedislandsta research project. Inspired by Teresia Kieuea Teaiwa’s powerful idea of turning “island” into a verb, this volume asks what it means “to island” in contemporary art curation. It explores how exhibition-making today can be urgent, connected, sustainable, and grounded in care. The book brings together contributions that trace oceanic journeys, entangled histories, and contested island heritage—revealing lesser-known transnational stories and hidden historical currents through contemporary artistic practice. 📖 Read the full publication here: https://icofom.mini.icom.museum/publications-2/the-monographs-of-icofom/ Part of a project selected by the European Research Council and funded by UK Research and Innovation (EP/X023036/1), coordinated by the School of Art History at St Andrews.

This week, IMHS researchers attended the ICOM UK annual conference at the University of Oxford, where museum professionals discussed the importance of Museum Diplomacy in Action, exploring the unique role of museums as cultural diplomats in an increasingly uncertain world. Jamie Allan Brown, Research Fellow at St Andrews, presented the work ‘Shared Island Stories: Youth, Museums and Climate Action Across Island Communities’, as part of the UKRI funded project ‘Shared Island Stories’ (@sharedislandsta ) 16 Apr 2026

Shared Island Stories hosts Youth and Climate Symposium in Barbados. The School of Art History–led Shared Island Stories research project, recently recognised with the inaugural International Council of Museums (ICOM) Award for Sustainable Development Practice in Museums, co-hosted a Youth and Climate Symposium in collaboration with the Barbados Museum & Historical Society (BMHS). The event brought together young people, researchers, community practitioners, and environmental experts to explore the role of heritage in addressing the climate emergency.

Fresh from receiving the inaugural @icomaward for Sustainable Development Practice in Museums, the @sharedislandsta research project co-hosted a powerful Youth and Climate Symposium in collaboration with @barbadosmuseum Bringing together young people, researchers, and environmental practitioners, the symposium explored how heritage can play a vital role in addressing the climate emergency—particularly within island communities on the frontline of change. ✨ From Barbados to Scotland's Outer Hebrides, this award-winning initiative highlights: • Youth as leaders and change-makers • Museums as spaces for climate action and dialogue • The power of transnational collaboration • Heritage as a driver for sustainable futures The symposium centred youth voices, with participants sharing experiences of climate action, community resilience, and heritage in practice. 🌿 Through keynote sessions, youth-led discussions, and field visits to Barbados’ environmental landscapes, the event demonstrated how natural and cultural heritage are deeply connected—and essential to building climate resilience. Shared Island Stories research was selected by the European Research Council (ERC) and is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under grant reference EP/X023036/1. The project is coordinated by the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews, and the transnational youth exchange is facilitated in collaboration with the Barbados Museum & Historical Society.

@sharedislandsta stands with the @carriacoumuseum's Call to Action - help support Carriacou’s heritage. As part of ongoing @uniofstandrews @arthistorysta led Shared Island Stories research, Principal Investigator and Project Lead, Professor Karen Brown, recently visited the Carriacou Museum and Historical Society, a key site of cultural memory, heritage, and community life on the island. In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl (July 2024), Carriacou faced devastating loss. Homes were destroyed, communities disrupted—and the island’s only museum, a guardian of history, memory, and identity, was severely damaged. For decades, the museum has preserved: • Oral histories of elders • Stories of migration, resistance, and resilience • Heritage rooted in generations of traditional knowledge and cultural practice Now, there is an urgent and inspiring effort to rebuild, not just what was lost, but something stronger, more resilient, and future-facing. Their vision includes: • A hurricane-resilient museum structure •Digitised archives to safeguard knowledge • Spaces for youth, education, and community healing •A renewed platform for cultural identity and sustainable futures 📢 We encourage our networks to support and share this important initiative.

Through partnership, dialogue, and shared heritage, young people from Barbados and the Scottish Hebrides are reimagining how museums can drive sustainability and contribute to the UN 2030 Agenda. 🌊 From island roots to global futures — youth are shaping the change. 📸 ©ICOM #ICOMAward #SharedIslandStories #SustainableMuseums 24 Nov 2025

Shared Island Stories Between Scotland and the Caribbean: Past, Present, Future is a 5-year research project coordinated by the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews in Scotland that aims to investigate relationships between the archipelagos. Drawing on history, heritage studies, sustainable development, art history and memory studies, the project asks: Which collections from the islands tell unfinished stories of Empire? What is the role of heritage communities for sustainable development? How can island community museums partner with NGOs, policy and local organisations and businesses for climate action? How can health and well-being be understood in relation to community heritage, traditional ecological knowledge and island life? What does this new knowledge bring to debates on climate justice, especially as they relate to the role of youth? 03 Jul 2024
