The Enigma of Arrival
3 March 2022
As a collaborative programme by Decolonise Art History at the University of Cambridge and Diasporas Now, ‘The Enigma of Arrival’ explores the potential of performance on the frontier of experimentation with dance, spoken word, and time-based media. The program expands the impact of the theatre beyond the conventional format of screenplay and speech, and ventures into the realm of cross-disciplinary art practices.
