A musical heritage walk to the UNESCO Creative Cities Network

Sharing our National Happiness
 Musical Heritage Walk to launch Pilot UNESCO Creative Cities Network inititive in Port of Spain

They say you are never too old to learn. This week, I learnt to clap.. Here’s the three-step method of clapping:
1.       You clap as fast as you can and faster than the person next to you;
2.       You clap with your whole body;
3.       You say some pleasantries about which you are clapping.
So let’s try that and applaud all those who have brought us to this stage for the launch of this pilot musical heritage walk as part of the UNESCO Creative Cities initiative for Port of Spain - because we are happiest people on earth, right?

Honourable Minister of Community Development and Acting Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism, Winston Gypsy Peters - one of our veteran calypsonian and certainly part of the musical heritage of Trinidad and Tobago…. Friends in the culture fraternity; other distinguished citizens, friends all.

Isn’t it remarkable that at a time that brings out the worst in us – as election ‘silly season’ seems to do - , we can find the time and a space like this at the iconic Casablanca Steelpan Yard here in Belmont, to celebrate the best in us.
I can only begin to describe the pleasure and sense of fulfilment in being able to open this first step of Trinidad and Tobago musical walk towards engaging with the UNESCO creative cities network – and to do that here, in Belmont one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most talented, most accomplished, most diverse district - a microcosm of the people and cultural achievements of Trinidad and Tobago.
The launch today of the Musical Belmont walk is just a small first step towards an incredible journey of becoming a member of a UNESCO global partnership that networks cities around the world, all representing and all sharing a common goal for developing urban areas and harnessing their cultural diversity for sustainable development.

How to Lasso the Information Beast Emailgate, the Cybercrime Bill

Legislating rights and responsibilities, privacy and freedoms in the age of information:
The Ongoing circus....

How to Lasso the Information Beast Emailgate, the Cybercrime Bill and Legislating rights and responsibilities, privacy and freedoms in the age of information

The ongoing circus surrounding what the media has dramatically dubbed emailgate is reason enough to take a second look at the proposed Cybercrime Bill 2014, though not only for the reasons being touted by parts of the media fraternity.
The #CybercrimeBill has far reaching effects and impacts for a range of stakeholders, if not virtually everyone who uses a #computer or indeed #smartphone, and requires a more targeted approach to achieve the Bill’s purported primary purpose “to provide for the creation of offences related to cybercrime and for other related matters in Trinidad and Tobago.”
The reality is that the impact of the Bill will not be limited to #TrinidadAndTobago just as the information and communication technologies cannot be confined to borders. Solutions to the challenges the bill attempts to address have to encompass this understanding. It is a reality to which the proposed Bill seems oblivious.
Within what are measures to impact a USD400 billion #illicit #global #industry of trading in ill-gotten information and an attempt to secure an environment that challenges all curtailment, should also be measures for a small island country like Trinidad and Tobago as a member of the Caribbean community, to secure its environment as far as is possible. There is much yet to be done towards leveraging the technologies towards achieving this, whether at national or regional levels.
The unfolding #emailgate circus is only but a clear indication of the high level of confusion and ignorance among public offices and officials who should be better advised and informed, about matters concerning the #internet, #security, #privacy, #rights, #responsibilities and #civilliberties – all of which the Cybercrime Bill impact on - much beyond the few clauses identified by the media in its focus for concerns surrounding the Bill.
This is far beyond claims of vindication and accusations, that the emailgate fiasco has netted which threatens to hold hostage the entire governance system – #Government and #Opposition as well as the Constitutional watchdogs in the office of the #DirectorOfPublicProsecution and the #IntegrityCommission, the #judiciary and #law fraternity, the police and the #fourth estate, the #media. That only hints at the wide ranging implications of internet-related issues of which we have only brushed the surface. There is all the more reason for a closer eye on this Bill.
Clearly, in this #informationage, it is not business as usual in treating with public information and the rights, roles and responsibilities of #State and other institutions, agencies and individuals, as it is not business as usual in treating with #governance, #elections, #partypolitics, the law, #crime and #criminality, #information and #communication and the persons and institutions charged with guarding our #democracy.
Several of the clauses in the Bill have far reaching implications, many of them yet unexplored, for indeed the national community, other than the media and the ones singled out as victims of #internetabuse, #sexualabuse, unauthorised use of information and the like. The Bill has implications for the information and communication technology industry, #business sector and #employers; #employees, #technicians, #engineers, #researchers, #scientists, and every citizen who uses and will use online communications and technologies. It therefore requires a radically different approach that takes into consideration the impact on each user community rather than the current broadbrush one of trying to be all things to all persons being attempted by the Bill.
That wkements of the Bill’s language are also already archaic even as it is being piloted speak to the volatile and dynamic environment in which the Bill is meant to function and which ought to contain flexibility to ensure continued relevance in the face of such dynamism.
Why hasn’t the media more adequately explored the Bill and its implications beyond how it directly impacts on the journalism profession one may ask – a direct indication of the gaps in education and awareness that have to be bridged among members of the media themselves on how to treat with the internet and matters of internet security, privacy and rights and responsibilities of the public and of the media. An informed media generates an informed public. Perhaps much in the emailgate circus could have been arrested if public institutions were better informed by a more mature media and a more discerning public.
It is a position I have consistently maintained, even as a former member of the now somewhat-in-abeyance #MediaComplaintsCouncil (#MCC) , which was created as a watchdog over the media watchdogs and guide on media related issues, albeit with an archaic code of practice and underdeveloped self-regulating mechanisms. It hardly embrace the new media environment and the kinds of challenges that have surfaced with the internet that strike at core and fundamental practices of  convention #journalism and media. The media industry has to hold itself up to scrutiny as much as it holds others to the same.
The nature of the internet and the infectious information and communication environment it has spawned – explosive is a mild term – and the #revolution it is creating in the way we do business, interact with each other, how we communicate, even how we eat and conduct other daily habits, is not only novel to us. Other societies, even more technologically advanced ones, are grappling with its magnificence and its monstrosity. We have seen the uproar #JulianAssange’s #WikiLeaks caused (Now a major motion picture!), and #EdwardSnowden in sharing NSA data and the recent #Sony expose of 2014.
The cyber environment has also brought sharply into focus the role and responsibilities of media and #mediaworkers, when almost every man woman and most children can have immediate access to his/her personal mass multimedia studio. It is putting pressure on all to devise workable solutions in shifting expectations of governance, politicians, the law and its officers, the media and citizens. It is demanding sharper focus on responsibilities as it has in relation to rights of providing security and guarding privacy in the face of hard won #freedoms of expression and #access to information.
The need for societies to strive for balance between public rights to information and rights to privacy is an age old one. It has evolved to various laws and instruments to guard freedom of the media and journalist; as well as exemption laws that protect the rights of citizens to privacy against intrusiveness of the media has been well aired following what is believed to be the paparazzi-driven death of #PrincessDiana. 
As a maturing democracy, Trinidad and Tobago will be well served, as will serve the global community itself struggling to find and maintain that balance between rights and responsibilities; privacy and the right to know against overwhelming odds, to evolve a Cybercrime Bill that benefits from an understanding and appreciation of the nature of the beast it is trying to lasso.

Experiencing the Art in a State of the Art Museum and Art Gallery

"What is currently the home of the National Museum and Art Gallery has, as a building, outgrown its walls and its floors. So we are looking to a state of the art building or system of buildings that can house what we are also trying to currently define as the National Collection... and  to chronicle, document and interpret events and experience"


Experiencing the Art in State of the Art
Opening Remarks, Chair, National Museum and Art Gallery, Dr Kris Rampersad
EYE...HAYTI...CRIES...EVERYWHERE...
Symposium on the Exhibition by LeRoy Clark, May 19, National Academy for the Performing Arts, Port of Spain

Happy International Museum Day!
Thank you for that invocation for reminding us that we are a part of something larger that came before us and that we ourselves come from something larger in our ancestry.
It has been a distinct honour that one of the first acts of the new Board of the National Museum and Art Gallery (NMAG) was to host this phenomenal exhibition of Chief Ifa Oje Won Yomi Abiodun—Master Artist, Le Roy Clarke EYE...HAYTI...CRIES...EVERYWHERE...
The breadth and depth of artistic vision are as much in each individual piece as in the collective of some 105 drawings in black and white which encapsulate and exude the spirit, resilience and potential of the civilisation and people who inspire, even with their tears, in Clarke’s symbolic Hayti. That is the overpowering sense when you enter the art gallery - that Hayti is all around us, and we are in it! Everywhere. That is the singular power that this exhibition: EYE...HAYTI...CRIES...EVERYWHERE...exudes.
I hope you have all had the opportunity to not just view but experience the exhibition before coming here – and if you haven’t yet, it is still open at the National Museum and Art gallery for another month.
It is in this context that I invite you to listen to the presentations and participate in the discussions that will follow. We. You Me all of us are not isolated or insulated from all of it. We are very much a part, participant, player and protagonist as we are audience, recipient and receptacle. This is a symposium about everywhere, as much as it is about the here and the now, and the actual country, our neighbour Haiti, that inspire it.
As we speak, we are confronting the tragedies of humanity that bring us to despair, to tears. I do not have to list them. They are personal and they are national and they are universal. That you are here means you must feel some of it, and want to impact upon it. And it is that eternal resilience to search out, to quest and to question and in doing so to transcend that this exhibition also celebrates.
At a time when the arts is the first – the first – to feel the axe of funding cuts and budget and other adjustments, we are trying to make the National Museum and Art Gallery into a state of the art institution. But what is state of the art? Which art? Whose art? It is a phrase often used loosely without thinking of what it really means:
The standard definition of state of the art is: the most recent stage in the development of something incorporating the newest ideas and features. Newness, innovation, and technology feature in every definition, but what of history, heritage, legacy? What of art?
Where is the place for art in state of the art?
It is indeed a reflection that seems apt standing here in a building like this that houses the National Performance Art Academy. Is this state of the art? Isn’t that a discussion, a dialogue, we should have had a long time ago, and is somewhat long due: the conversation between the centuries old building next door, known as the Royal Victoria Institute and headquarters of the National Museum and Art Gallery, and this ultra modern state of the art one here? And isn’t there a dialogue and conversation that should be happening between our institution next door, and institutions like this one, the University of Trinidad and Tobago and the other one up the road, the University of the West Indies.
Where is the art in state of the art?
When we talk of a state of the art, we at the National Museum and Art Gallery envision an institution that is aptly fulfilling its role in all the dimensions and expectations such an institution is supposed to offer. It is a building yes – but it is not just a building. We are well aware that what is currently the home of the National Museum and Art Gallery has, as a building, outgrown its walls and its floors. So we are looking to a state of the art building or system of buildings that can house what we are also trying to currently define as the National Collection. And we hope that can be equipped with the latest technologies and equipment and devices that define the modern age.
But that would be nothing, a void, like the echoes that emanate from the cries within Clarke’s drawings, if we do not also fill that building/those buildings with events and occasions like these: to reflect, to interrogate, to elucidate, to educate on the state of the art, the state of our art, and the state that we are in as a people, the role of the State and the role of the people in the state of the art. We welcome partnerships in this so we can have more of these, more engagement, more interaction, more discussion, articulation, interrogation so we could better understand ourselves and this place we call our society, and our world.
It allows us an opportunity to remind ourselves, and others, of the role of the arts: to chronicle, document and interpret events and experience; to bring people closer together to understand each other: to promote cross cultural understanding because art reaches out from canvas and makes the looker-on, the onlooker – a participant. Isn’t that true of the exhibition next door? It encourages us to find creative solutions to challenging situations which we are here to do at this symposium.
To me, ultimately, art, all art, is not techniques and buildings and technology but experience. Through it an artist expresses an experience that he or she often cannot even fathom – his/her experience of an emotion or thought; and through it we participate in an experience that may be larger and inaccessible to us in our daily lives.
As we reflect on, discuss, debate, project and contemplate the artist’s work here, examine and scrutinise where it came from, what it has become, where it will go; where we have come from, what we have become, where are we going as a people, let us also reflect on the state of the art: The state of the art that a Museum and Art Gallery represents, should represent.
And I invite you to join us in helping to take it there. It is a cry, my cry, for all of us to recognise that perhaps we would not have so many tears if we had such an institution that could hold together all the fraying and flaying strands of our society and from its chaos create the kind of art we see in the exhibition: EYE...HAYTI...CRIES...EVERYWHERE...
I thank you for taking the time and effort to be a part of this; and the University of Trinidad and Tobago and the Ministry of National Diversity and Social Integration for partnering; Legacy House for inspiring us and I look forward to the presentations and your partnership and collaboration as we move forward towards better appreciation of the state of the art. We appreciate and welcome your understanding of this as a collective responsibility as we move to form alliances and partnerships that would help us fullfil the esoteric and exoteric place a museum assumes in the lives of citizens.
We invite you to join us in forging opportunities for our National Museum and Art Gallery to grow in stature as a place to explore and interrogate ourselves as much as it is to celebrate and transform the worst in and of us into the best of us, so that we too become state of the art.
I thank you.
Dr Kris Rampersad
Chair, National Museum and Art Gallery.
