Tilting Axis 2025: Amanda T. McIntyre
Amanda T. McIntyre, this year’s Nieuwe Instituut/Tilting Axis Fellow, talks to Annalee Davis (Tilting Axis) and Federica Notari (Nieuwe Instituut). Amanda will share insights from her project Present Continuous, which explores how to archive contemporary Caribbean masquerade culture - with a focus on the materials used and the question of who the culture actually belongs to.
5 June 2025 17:00 - 19:00
Artist and writer Amanda T. McIntyre, originally from Trinidad and Tobago, is the fifth recipient of the Tilting Axis Fellowship. She is currently the Creative Director and Lead Designer at the Dolly Mas Visual and Performing Arts Company.
Her project Present Continuous explores sustainable ways of archiving and preserving mas: contemporary Caribbean masquerade cultures. For the Nieuwe Instituut/Tilting Axis Fellowship, she weaves together architecture, mas, queer studies, and climate justice to find ways of preserving and protecting Caribbean carnival costumes and traditions that are good for the environment and local communities.
