Art and the Artist

Description

The launch issue of Moving Worlds brings together writers whose histories are tied in various ways to the history of British colonialism. The writers explore new conceptions of shared ground and space and raise questions about the relationship between the global and the local; about identity, language and hybridity; and about the evolution of new aesthetic forms and structures.
