This exhibition will explore marginalization and it's personal, political, and social manifestations.

Is it always negative?

Society for the Performing Arts - Wells Fargo Student Art Contest17th Annual Wells Fargo Student Art Contest
Work due to me by January 30th. See me if you want to do this instead of an assignment. Shadow will serve as the motif for this year’s art contest My Caravanserai Inspired by Society for the Performing Arts' 2014-2015 education residency Caravanserai: Malaysia, the 17th Annual Wells Fargo Student Art Contest in entitled "My Caravanserai." Caravanserai: Malaysia is a three-part residency that introduces American audiences to exciting and dynamic artists from the Muslim world, and more specifically in 2014-2015, the art and culture of Malaysia. Inspiration: Caravanserais were roadside inns located upon trade routes in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, especially along the Silk Road. Travelers along these routes used the caravanserais as safe‐havens where they could rest, restock their supplies, converse with other travelers, and enjoy entertainment. No matter who you were, what country you were from, or what language you spoke, everyone was welcome at the caravanserais.The exchange of ideas along these trade routes, facilitated by caravanserais, led to a great cultural exchange between East and West and was a significant factor in the development of many countries, including Malaysia. Three Malaysian artists touring as part of this year’s Caravanserai program embody this spirit of diversity: the Diplomats of Drum, a 16‐piece ensemble which performs a “global fusion” of music from around the world on a variety of traditional and modern instruments; Pete Teo, a Malaysian filmmaker who produced 15Malaysia, a series of short films directed by 15 independent directors, each examining a different socio‐political aspect of life in Malaysia; and Wayang Kulit: The Shadow Play of Kelantan, a traditional shadow puppetry performance based on a Hindu epic poem adapted for Muslim villages. All of us are on journeys of some sort—caravanserais let us take a moment to share our experiences, tell our stories, and learn from those around us. Motif: Wayang The term wayang is the Javanese word for shadow,which plays a vital role in the traditional shadow puppetry of Malaysia, Wayang Kulit. Shadow will serve as the motif for this year’s art contest. |
