Art, Culture and Society Vol 1 is the first in a series of books to
be published by Twaweza Communications on the relationship between
art and society, with special reference to Kenya. It is part of a
cultural leadership initiative being undertaken by the organization
through a reexamination of the arts as they are produced and
studied. This volume brings together important reflections on the
arts and is a major step in encouraging dialogue on the
relationship between creativity and the human condition in the
region. Significantly, it creates a space for university-based
academics to engage in dialogue with artists and writers based
outside institutions of higher learning. The conversations will
bridge the gap between the two domains for knowledge production and
enrich creative enterprise in Kenya, in theory and practice. As the
essays in this collection show, the present global situation
demands a way to conceptualise and theorise an ever growing
cultural interconnectedness, sometimes manifested in art; and
interconnectedness that draws from a myriad of cultures and
experiences. Through the bridges of contact and cultural exchange
distant images are mediated and brought closer to us. They are
reinterpreted and modified. In the final analysis, culture is shown
to be an important aspect of human creativity but separateness and
boundedness is contested. Instead, culture is shown to be malleable
and fluid. The essays bring in a new freshness to our reading of
the creative arts coming out of Kenya.
