The Barbados Landship is an island dance performance and social institution that is not wholly of the island, the ship, or the sea. As such, it not only challenges land-locked cultural geographies, it also contributes to the growing “relational turn” in island, oceanic, and archipelagic studies. This talk draws upon the wonderfully entertaining Landship to unpack, celebrate, and highlight the current state of these debates, as  well as speculating where we might now go from here.
