ABSTRACT

Through case studies in Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, this chapter examines the inclusiveness of Caribbean museology that expands beyond the museum-as-institution into connected ecosystems of community agency. Drawing from Édouard Glissant, this chapter investigates a rhizomatic approach that aims to interpret participation as an assemblage of multi-vocal narratives, as well as co-producing accessible projects of the research. This model addresses the possibilities for Small Island Developing States in creating critical frameworks that decolonise methodology within museology.
