Digital Arts Funding: Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) picked 21 artists for its inaugural Open Call for Digital Art Commissions, awarding grants from $2,500 to $15,000 plus production support through 2027; the projects range from VR and net art to AI-driven animation and immersive installations, exploring identity, migration, memory, and technology, with submissions coming from 50 countries including Martinique. Regional Diplomacy & Innovation: France and the OECS renewed ties with Ambassador Marie-Noëlle Duris’ accreditation, highlighting cooperation on climate resilience, public health, maritime security, education mobility, and “technological innovation” for economic growth—especially relevant given nearly 800,000 French citizens living across Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint Martin. Local Cultural Training: Dr. Travis Weekes (UWI) is running a two-week theatre intensive in Martinique at Tropiques Atrium with Martiniquan actors, centered on his historical drama Take Me To Mon Repos (1794 Saint Lucia), with plans discussed for a Martinique/Saint Lucia production and a film adaptation.
