'Diasporic Futures: Women, the Arts and Globalization'

A one day conference to be held at the Victoria and Albert Museum,
Monday 3 July 2006

Keynote Speaker: Sutapa Biswas

This one day conference is designed to assess and evaluate the specific
relationship between women, the arts and globalization on the
articulation of diasporic and migrant identities, past, present and
future.The conference seeks to test the limits of extant maps of
globalization, contemporary art practices and migration by exploring how
women artists and women's creative practices operate within the dominant
patterns of the marketplace and how they map the world against the
grain, developing alternative networks and new meanings. The ways in
which women negotiate diasporas and migration and articulate their
specific position as sexed subjects, challenges us to look again at
women's practice and cultural agency in the context of global networks
of exchange and their impact on the arts.

Participants include: Dorothy Rowe, Marsha Meskimmon, Fran Lloyd, Sutapa
Biswas,Roshini Kempadoo, Katy Deepwell, Francoise Dupre, Mohini Chandra,
