ABSTRACT
This statement does not serve as a definition of interculturalism, but provides a starting point in highlighting the intricacy of exchanges and influences across ethnic borders. As the world has changed from isolated self-sufficient communities to a complex, economically interconnected and predominantly industrial entity, so have the options open to artists radically transformed. One cannot divorce creativity from questions of history, economics, politics and nationalism. The very expression ‘cultural imperialism’ shows heightened contemporary understanding of the connection between politics and art.
