This roundtable will begin with a provocation from each speaker on their artistic experiences dealing with difference in socio-cultural milieu through their work in performances or the arts in general. What are some of the ways in which cultural difference – or just plain difference – is mediated in/through performance? What are the urgent issues within the broad theme of cultural difference in today's artistic works? How does an artist negotiate just plain old difference in his/her works? The speakers will present their views on some of these questions and dialogue between each other to highlight urgent matters on culture, society and the arts.
