They AreAlways Appropriating Our Culture. Cultural Ownership Seminar. Accusations of white society appropriating black culture is an old one.
BMC founder Kwaku precedes the discussions with a paper that turns the arguments on its head by highlighting African/black music making within the context of Western technological, cultural and legal frameworks. This event has a special resonance in 2007, as we mark the bicentenary of the Act that abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade. City University , Northampton Square , London EC1 0HB . £free.
