Just Mix It

A debate that places the appropriation of elements of other cultures under general suspicion, a debate that criticises the mixing of different cultural influences, yes, wants to prohibit them, from Indian games to role-playing in the theatre to artistic exchange and cultural mixing, negates the innovative and also emancipatory significance and power of cultural exchange.
Since humans have inhabited the earth, they have enriched their lives and their culture with elements from other, earlier, foreign cultures and their iconography, styles, sounds, ideas, forms, patterns or fashions, and they have always reshaped them.
