Cross Cultural Encounters, Post Colonialism and Appropriation in the Age of Artistic Mobility

A conversation with Daan Roggeveen, Dabing Chen, and Ruth Simbao, which attempts to introduce a new world vision of former colonial countries acting between and amongst themselves. Today, more than 50 years after the Bandung Conference, this vision is more relevant than ever, as the economic and political dominance of the West fades into history.
