This book discusses the role of cultural practices and policy for
sustainable development in West Africa across different artistic
disciplines, including performance, video, theatre, community arts
and cultural heritage. Based on ethnographic field research in
local communities, the book presents findings on current debates of
cultural sustainability in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Benin. It
provides a unique perspective connecting cultural studies, conflict
studies and practical peacebuilding approaches through the arts.
The first part pays particular attention to aspects of social
cohesion and the circumstances of internally displaced persons e.
g. caused by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. The
second part focuses on cultural policy issues and challenges in the
context of sustainable development, investigating participatory
approaches and bottom-up processes, the role of governments and
civil society, as well as performing arts organizations and
universities in policy making and implementation processes.
Performing Sustainability in West Africa presents research results
and new methods on the role of artistic and cultural practices in
conflict situations as well as current debates in cultural policy
for researchers, academics, NGOs and students in cultural studies,
sustainable development studies and African studies. The Open

Kunstler und Kulturaktivisten nehmen als Agents of Change eine
zentrale Rolle in gesellschaftspolitischen Transformationsprozessen
ein. Die Studie untersucht die Rolle zivilgesellschaftlicher
Akteure am Beispiel von Kunstfestivals im oeffentlichen Raum im
Kontext der Umbruche in Tunesien in den Jahren 2010/11 und der
politischen Transformation von einem diktatorischen zu einem
demokratischen System. Daruber hinaus werden neue Aufgaben,
Herausforderungen und Chancen auf dem Gebiet deutscher auswartiger
Kulturpolitik am Beispiel der kulturellen Programmarbeit und
Kooperationsansatze des Goethe-Instituts betrachtet sowie ein
Paradigmenwechsel fur das Politikfeld entwickelt.
