Abstract

This section presents a reference source on artists, scholars, associations, events and archives that had influenced black British cultural production from 1970 to 2001. Artist and disc jockey Gerald Simpson has been an innovative figure at the forefront of the British dance scene since the late 1980s. He first came to prominence as a founder member of 808 State, but it is as a solo artist recording as A Guy Called Gerald that he has made his famous work. Founded in 1981, AbbaKush was the first mainly female reggae band in Great Britain. Their music reflects their commitment to Rastafari ideals of love, peace and unity, and their work draws on Jamaican reggae rhythms but also incorporates other African diasporic forms such as jazz and soca. The African and Asian Visual Arts Archive is an arts organization founded in 1989 by Eddie Chambers. It aims to foster links between its clients--both the artists who contribute and those who visit it. African Cultural Exchange was founded in Birmingham, England in October 1996. The company members included dancer Joanne Bernard, dancer Gail Claxton-Parmel, musician Ian Parmel, dancer Stuart Thomas and musician Skibu. A major facet of the company's work involves educational and outreach work in schools and community venues. The company stresses the need to enable African and Caribbean musicians and dancers to access arts provision.

Abstract

The article contemplates the "Black to Black," an exhibition that tries to rediscover black America as the disregarded cultural locale of Jamaica and Great Britain. The exhibit is a detailed critical inspection of Black Arts Movement (BAM) in the U.S., Jamaica and Great Britain in the 1960s and 1970s.

40. Putting the Cosmopolitan to Work: Experimental Film and Video

Author

Rachel garfield and Wainwright, Leon

Abstract

The symposium reviews the relationship between cosmopolitanism and globalisation, how this relationship has been constructed in the past and how it might be construed more fruitfully for the future. Contributors explore in what ways creativity, vision and imagination as they express themselves in contemporary literature, art and theory can be seen as practices that not only promote the development of a cosmopolitan consciousness, but initiate forms of transnational agency.

41. Arrested transmission: from periphery to center

Author

Wainwright, Leon

Abstract

The New York-based shows this summer focusing on the Caribbean have gestured to a region whose art is firmly part of an expanding interest in the African diaspora.' They follow a pattern over recent years of new blood coming to the United States from the Caribbean; a migration of sorts which artists from all over the region are scrambling to enjoin. The typical path of entry is for an individual artist, or more likely a freshly formed collective, to stake almost everything on the digital formats that are needed to float their work online. Of course it's a mode of promotion that's not unique to the Caribbean: self-marketing through the web is the contemporary default for creativity the world over.
