About the project

About the project

 

 

We worked with SV2G and individuals of Caribbean heritage to co-research and co-curate the monuments at St Paul's Cathedral related to the French Revolutionary Wars in the Caribbean.

The project adopted a community-centred approach for exploring the history and legacy of British imperialism in the Windward Islands, engaging in a rigorous process of collaborative research, interpretation, and curation. 

Some of our activities included: 

  • an introductory event with representatives from the High Commissions of Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, and the French Embassy
  • introductory sessions with SV2G contributors
  • three expert-led historical seminars 
  • support with individual historical research
  • collaborative writing retreats

Project aim

The project also aimed to establish a partnership between the Cathedral and SV2G by:

  • promoting SV2G’s charitable mandate through a grant to support a follow-on research project about Caribbean women and resistance
  • harnessing the partnership to strengthen the Cathedral’s Visitor Experience services by improving on-site and online information about our collections, and by updating the Cathedral’s provision and training for equality, diversity, and inclusion
