Who?
Know Your Caribbean was founded by Saint Lucian born visual artist, and filmmaker Fiona Compton. Frustrated by the lack of accessible in-depth information about the Caribbean region, she began in her own time to unearth stories buried away in the obscure corners of little known history books. Coming to realize herself, although growing up in the Caribbean, that there was much she did not know, and that these histories needed to be shared.
And so the Know Your Caribbean Initiative was formed in May 2017.

What ?

Know Your Caribbean is a platform dedicated to the enrichment of the history and culture of the Caribbean. Focused on telling the untold stories of the region, promoting its diversity, its dynamism and beauty of a region that has been misrepresented with monolithically shallow narrative. 


Focusing on the Caribbean in its entirety, this includes Black/African history, Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, and European history - falling all into one giant colourful melting pot that is the Caribbean. 

Know Your Caribbean is about representation - through online content, films, photography, art, dialogue and discussion - pushing the envelope as to just what an educational platform does. 

Hosting events, film screenings and workshops, Know Your Caribbean facilitates lectures and intimate talks, whilst creating spaces for the Caribbean diaspora to feel like they have a place that is their own.
