ACTT President, Rubadiri Victor

ACTT President, Rubadiri Victor is a young multi-media artist/scholar and activist uniquely networked amongst generations of creative practitioners in all fields in Trinidad and Tobago. He has worked in most media and has produced noteworthy work in most. His multi-media and inter-generational work (as well as the frustrations that creative artists have faced in this landscape) have also led him to become possibly the country’s foremost cultural activist and a scholar with new critical takes on contemporary cultural theory. These are some of his writings:
