Cultural appropriation: Yours, mine, theirs or a new intercultural?

This article considers how by shifting culturally anchored design materials from one context to simplistic placement in decontextualized settings, cultural appropriation takes place in costume design. Building on that, it discusses how production teams need to be cognizant of such issues in the design process given that availability of such materials has historically been possible because acquisition has often aligned with political and commercial ambitions. Reviewing scholarship on appropriation that includes performance, costume, fashion and cultural studies, it questions how designing costumes through intercultural interaction might be navigated in a globalized context, where artists are excluded through travel bans, but cultural materials are permitted free movement. The article then discusses how to create productive intercultural projects with teams willing to invest in ethical engagement. By including case studies in which such processes were less successful as well as one that indeed created new intercultural exchanges, this article is one of the first texts to address this complex issue. It intends to engender future forward thinking conversations with practitioners and researchers on the thorny but urgent issue of cultural appropriation through costume.

Certain to be counted among the many flashpoints in the cultural wars of the late 1980s, Peter Brook's The Mahabharata occupies a unique and ultimately illuminating position in the history of theatre and perfonnance criticism. Stained by the lingering residues of its producer's gross and well-documented cultural insensitivities, Brook's The Mahabharata became a kind of pariah shortly after its premier. That stain marks the history of the piece's reception and has resulted either in a consistent blurring of the production with its producer or in an implicit call to boycott the production as a way to hold Brook accountable for his indefensible behavior while in India researching his production. In either case, scholars have been unable or unwilling to move beyond considerations that are based on an equation of Brook's production with Peter Brook the person. While from a political standpoint such equations may initially be understandable, from a theoretical perspective they not only have been problematic from the very stat but also have inadvertently elided profoundly significant political ramifications in Brook's The Mahabharata, ramifications that become visible only if we make a clear break between Brook and his production.
