Cross cultural work

Hi well this week it is Brisvegas for a week of showcases and networking at the Music Market.

The week started with seeing a Queensland Music Festival piece, Crossing Roper Bar. A fusion of indigenous with contemporary music. Not too sure that the work hangs together at this stage.

Just wondering with a lot of the cross cultural work, that if in the anxiety to do the right thing and be inclusive, that the natural flow of things is forced, ending up with stilted and to me meaningless and often patronising work. In our rush to be supportive of specific sectors that we accept the mediocre disguised as feel good, do the right thing stuff.

Is it fair, to other artists who are outstanding in their craft?
