Artistic identities in a world of influence and international artistic exchange
In a rapidly globalising world such concepts as genre are in continuous flux; identities are blurring and the idea of owners and originators of specific art forms, curators and performance styles is becoming increasingly difficult to place. Yet it is human nature, since time immemorial, to attempt to name things, put them in boxes that they can manage- or maybe easily ignore- and generally come up with working definitions of all ideas emergent or extant. It is under this broad theme of ‘identity’ that the Nairobi Dance Encounters were held at the Godown Arts’ Centre on the 23rd – 25th October, 2006.
