Kester - Conversation Pieces
Kester, G. (2005) Conversation Pieces: The Role of Dialogue in Socially Engaged Art. In Z. Kocur and S. Leung (eds.) Theory in Contemporary Art Since 1985, (76-100). Oxford: Blackwell.
The author discusses questions that have a broad cultural and political resonance: How do we form collective or communal identities without scapegoating those who are excluded from them? Is it possible to develop a cross-cultural dialogue without sacrificing the unique identities of individual speakers?
