Description

Convergence is a biannual magazine dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the arts of Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. Its objective is to generate inclusive dialogues and to bring informed perspectives on artists, objects and practices related to these continents.

In this issue, an Indonesian philologist and archaeologist, a Taiwanese sculptor, doctoral students in art history and archaeology, Peruvian weavers, and a Māori sculptor share with us their approach and points of view. They discuss the arts and traditions that animate them and contribute to their larger opinions, experience, and knowledge. 

Convergence is above all a celebration of the plurality of the arts and practices from five immense continents. While all very much distinct, we hope that these artists, cultures, and perspectives find here a platform for exchange–free and innovative, mindful and original.
