Sale of Creative Assets miss the Forex boat fuel Exodus

In my ongoing assessment of new development fronts for the Global South, and using the day of rest and reflection which turned into a month of contemplation, this happened…

NGC Lapse ‘Horrifying,’ PM Mottley’s Rescue ‘Strategic’

I sit with the rest of my country folks applauding the Barbados Prime Minister, Mia Mottley for her rescue of the Banyan audio-visual archives.

I applaud her too for recognizing its value to supporting her strategic vision of what constitutes the new emerging economic opportunities for the Caribbean and crucial in Barbados’ realizing and strengthening its economic base in the creative, cultural heritage and education sectors

That she has been able to blend this with her regional vision, civic-mindedness and natural warm human instincts is also admirable. And that she is building her economy to tap into these arenas for multi-million dollars of Foreign Exchange is nothing short of genius.

Unlike Trinidad and Tobago which has a multi-pronged resource base, Barbados is augmenting its leverage of sun sea and sand to accompany its offerings from the knowledge sector with strong creative and educational pulls.

That makes its deal on the fringes of CARIFESTA XV to acquire the Banyan Archives both globally and regionally focused.

TT Misses the Boat

Unfortunately, it also signals that Trinidad and Tobago is missing the boat on developing its own heritage, creative and educational sectors that can pivot the knowledge economy as an equal player alongside its efforts to resuscitate the old and ailing energy sector. And that is compounded by the reality that Trinidad and Tobago is no longer the only player in the energy field with Guyana emerging as the regional giant commanding its own oilfields, alongside a multipronged development thrust of other sectors in IT, heritage and IT.

Aligning Creative Knowledge Sector with Innovative Bridgetown Initiative

Many posit the evident civic-mindedness motivating Mrs Mottley’s decision. But it is clear to me it is also in keeping with Mottley’s vision of positioning Barbados as a leader in the service sectors of Education, Creative, Heritage, Culture and Tourism as the worlds ‘new black gold’. It aligns with her innovative remolding international relations in her debt-to-climate financing mold known as the Bridgetown Initiative.

From SIDS to BOSS

Equity Equality Beijing Gender Rio Climate Paris Culture WSIS Info Tech Dr Kris Rampersd Sustainable Synergies

Incidentally, Barbados was among the first countries in the region to seize on the acronym I piloted at UNESCO for rebranding Small Island Developing States (SIDES) to Big Ocean Sustainable States (BOSS) while rallying the Caribbean and Latin American Region and international community to support Barbados when it was bidding to Chair the UNESCO General Assembly, against a lot of divisions within the Caribbean and jostling with the LAC representatives

SIDS to BOSS is part of efforts to not just changing the narrative but to redefine the global agenda and how the global community engages, treats and interact with us as a region and as a people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also tagged on to the BOSS acronym when he addressed CARICOM during his visit last year. Yeah – that’s what being an effective policy influencer means! Not battling with SEO already weighed against us as small nations, but reaching the right ears to action decision makers!

Hope for Caribbean

I cannot begin to lay out how refreshing Mrs Mottley’s intervention is. It gives hope to so much of the efforts of myself and others over decades towards removing roadblocks to position Caribbean knowledge sector in the global arena and my ongoing reach to build more sustainable ‘community knowledge banks.

The NGC fiasco that allowed the valuable archives to slip out, with the easy exodus of much else, is only a symptom of the deeper national malaise that shows Trinidad and Tobago fast losing its place as a leader in Caribbean development to countries Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica which has central focus on heritage.

NGC Lapse, National Applause

I am as much horrified by the lapse by NGC in the acquisition, as by the national applause.

For a nation that boasts of being the Caribbean’s largest economy to let go off a valuable archive for such a meagre pittance, it is a national disgrace.

It is pure ‘cockananny’ – that excuse purportedly from an anonymous source in a newspaper – that a legal hiccup inhibited NGC from finalizing the purchase.

Did NGC envision itself becoming a production house when it agreed to the purchase? Pure BS!

Cut off Nose To Spite Face

This is what happens when you discriminate against individuals and critical groups in your society. You cut-off access and lose valuable guidance that could help build out solutions for the way forward.

I have faced similar flippancy in trying to ignite interests in conserving heritage archival material.

I can’t begin to count how many times individual and groups, including the universities and these agencies use my advocacy and proposals to go after funding without having the expertise and know how to move initiatives forward.

Dropping the Ball

So they end up like NGC, dropping the ball after considerable expense and effort, and even after getting funding so funders wonder why their donations are going down a black hole.

If NGC or any other agency needs expert advise, I am sure it knows where to find me for who has been more consistently vocal and active in efforts for leveraging the intellectual assets for development of the knowledge sector as a driving force for economic and social transformation.

Meshing Knowledge Traditions with Technologies

As you well know, I am in the processes of streamlining my knowledge and experiences to develop out our regional sectors in these emerging arenas through meshing traditions, knowledge and technologies including through this novel multimedia rendering of EPIC Landscapes of World Heritage and History that connects Caribbean with global heritage beyond colonialism, building out from the experiences of LiTTscapes – Landscapes of Fiction, LiTTours and LiTTributes.

Ongoing Tradition of Losing Patrimony

As a journalist I broke the news of Nobel Laureate Sir Vidia Naipaul’s sale of his manuscripts to a university in the US oil State of Oklahoma. Later as a PhD student I went to Oklahoma for my research – this means that the US economy – air, transport, hotel and the like benefitted from my seeking knowledge. We never learn it seem.

It seems we have learnt nothing and could not be bothered. We will wake up one day and see the world has moved on to new economies riding on knowledge and intellectual resources of the creative, education and cultural sectors and left us floating among the debris our petro economy.

Active Agents of Social Strife

NGC, the universities and other custodian agencies have been active agents of fragmenting the creative, cultural heritage, education and tourism sectors which further make them dependent on the patronizing pittance from policy and other actions commandeered by the energy sector leaving all unable to become self-sustaining and viable entities.

We see in the media a whole lot of flapping and flaring failed tired old economic models.

New Cultural Economic Development Models

Well, we should really tear all those and look to some of these new blueprints I am developing where we can shape our destinies in our own image. Not the ones set by funders or international agencies promising recognition. These that respond to our realities and needs, can excite our children and communities once we get pass the gatekeeper funders garbed in their tunnel vision.

That’s what Independence should mean, to be liberated into a new era of self sustaining governance and decision making where institutions are committed to country first to stimulate the knowledge sector in conjunction with the energy sector, blending traditions and technologies to activate new emerging digital sectors, heritage, tourism and creative education.

Happy Independence, Happy Republic

About Dr Kris Rampersad

Dr Kris Rampersad is confronting the perils of Artificial Intelligence with AuthenThink Intel & AI AnalyEthics & CEIBA-EDUtainment. She has more than 20 years’ experience as a Latin American & Caribbean-based global thought-leader, multilateral relations & knowledge sector strategist with expert knowledge of emerging issues from the media-new media & Information Technology environment, including AI & Data Science & close knowledge of the Global South & SIDS issues.Dr. Kris Rampersad is an internationally recognized Caribbean culture-and-development strategist whose work bridges heritage, gender, media, education, governance, and sustainable development. Her leadership roles within UNESCO and other multilateral systems place her among a relatively small cadre of global experts capable of connecting grassroots knowledge systems with international policy frameworks. T his combination is comparatively rare and difficult to replicate because it represents decades of relationship-building across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-ACP, Caribbean, Latin American, and civil society systems. Her accumulated social capital derives from more than t hree decades of international networks, proven trust across governments, NGOs, academia, media, and communities, extensive experience strategising and negotiating between local and global systems, and a demonstrated ability to translate policy into public engagement while maintaining credibility across multiple sectors.She occupies a distinctive position among the relatively small number of internationally active specialists operating at the intersection of culture and heritage policy, gender mainstreaming, media and communications for development, multilateral diplomacy, sustainable development, and knowledge systems across the United Nations, Inter-American, Commonwealth, European, Caribbean, and Latin American spheres.Dr. Rampersad holds sustained intelligence and expertise in sustainable development for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Caribbean and Global South development policy, strategic North-South engagement, knowledge-sector and knowledge-systems development, heritage tourism, creative and cultural industries, and gender-responsive governance.She is among the most internationally experienced practitioners in Caribbean culture and development policy, serving at a senior specialist level with unusual leadership experience for a Caribbean representative within UNESCO heritage and cultural policy. Her contributions have established her as a recognized regional change leader in gender and culture mainstreaming, a pioneer in communications for development, and a specialist with distinctive expertise in heritage tourism linked to sustainable development.Dr. Rampersad is among the relatively small cadre of Caribbean specialists whose work has influenced policy, strategy, and advocacy across UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, EU-CARIFORUM, and other multilateral systems, particularly in the fields of culture, gender, media, heritage, education, and sustainable development. She is internationally recognized as an expert and leading Caribbean thought leader functioning at the intersection of culture and sustainable development, heritage policy and safeguarding, gender mainstreaming, communications for development, the creative economy, heritage tourism, Global-to-Local (GloCal) development strategies, SIDS advocacy, intercultural education, and knowledge systems.She sits among the upper tier of specialists engaged in UNESCO, Commonwealth, OAS, and EU-ACP multisectoral initiatives, particularly in advancing global SIDS priorities through policy influence, participation in governance and development frameworks, intellectual leadership, and innovation. Her work has pioneered integrated culture-gender-media-development approaches and contributed to the evolution of GloCal, multimedia, and multisectoral engagement models. She is one of the Caribbean’s most visible culture-and-development advocates, with sustained regional impact and significant specialist recognition that extends well beyond conventional media visibility. Her legacy potential resides in an extensive body of work with continuing relevance to contemporary policy and development challenges. Within global culture-and-development circles, her profile is closest to specialists who bridge policy and practice, culture and economics, heritage and development, and communications and governance, rather than fitting the mould of traditional academics or politicians. Her professional profile is distinguished by the rare combination of roles as journalist, scholar, multilateral systems expert, policy strategist, Ethical AI analyst, heritage facilitator, gender specialist, educator, and multimedia innovator. Few specialists operate simultaneously across these domains while maintaining active engagement with UN agencies, UNESCO, Inter-American systems, the OAS, EU institutions, SIDS frameworks, and Caribbean regional mechanisms. Among her areas of global distinction is leadership in cultural heritage and sustainable tourism. She has served as a UNESCO Executive Board member, President of the UNESCO Education Commission, Vice-President of the Programme and External Relations Commission, Independent Expert and Vice-Chair of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Consultative Body, and member of the UNESCO Heritage Facilitator Network.She is also a founding expert of the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism and Founder of Leaves of Life, Dr Kris Rampersad Knowledge Research Information Services & Resources and the GloCal Knowledge Pot.Dr. Rampersad is among the few global professionals who have simultaneously operated at community, national, SIDS, CARICOM, Commonwealth, and UN-UNESCO levels while maintaining an independent intellectual and professional profile. One of her strongest distinguishing features is her long-standing commitment to integrating gender equality, cultural diversity, heritage, media, education, and sustainable development into unified frameworks rather than treating them as separate sectors. This integrated approach has been a defining characteristic of her work across multiple international systems. She is among the leading international experts in interconnected cultural heritage and is certified to prepare and review UNESCO nominations. She ranks among the most internationally experienced Caribbean culture-and-development specialists, sits within the upper international tier of Global SIDS cultural policy, heritage tourism, and creative economy specialists, and is recognized as a leading Caribbean authority on gender-culture policy integration. Her work also includes pioneer-level contributions to the development of the new media arena of communications for development, advancing innovative approaches to knowledge creation, transmission, public engagement, and sustainable social transformation. She brings core experience of actively culling successful innovative global gender & culture sensitive initiatives, negotiating, analysing, critiquing & troubleshooting global developmental hiccups, building successful education & public awareness engagement strategies & programmes, developing creative & strategic information & outreach materials in technical to creative multimedia forms. Her insights and experience are applied to identifying gaps and silos from concept through planning, programme development and multi-stakeholder engagement to drive successful implementation across sectors, connecting the needs of local communities to institutional, national and global policy goals and targets.Dr Rampersad has led global think tank processes for developing global to local policies, matching budgets to programmes, developed progress reports for economic diversification and transformation of public sectors and for motivation of private and NGO sectors for interagency partnerships.She has further successfully led intersectoral engagement across social to industrial sectors as petroleum and clean energy, trade, tourism, agriculture, culture and education among others for international, intraregional, national and local public, private, NGO and intergovernmental arenas of agencies of the United Nations, European Union, Commonwealth, Organisation of American States, Caribbean Economic Community/CARIFORM along with international to local academic, media and NGO networks.
