The Enigma of Arrival
3 March 2022
As a collaborative programme by Decolonise Art History at the University of Cambridge and Diasporas Now, βThe Enigma of Arrivalβ 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.

Programme curated by Winnie Zhu (Decolonise Art History) and Wen Xiao (UCL Art History), produced by James Culhane. With the kind support of Bread Theatre and Film Company and Gallerie V.
