AS AN OPENING GAMBIT




This blog is a collection of muses on various topics. It tries to balance the juxtaposed, it probes at the cracks and peripherals of culture. It also seeks to demystify terms like ‘’cultural capital’’ and ‘’creative commerce’’. Would we dare to think of these terms as mere buzzwords that crumble upon interrogation or are these the terms that city hall should consider critical to their strategy as they approach the uncertain future?

The blog will probably beg more questions than it will answer. This blog is also interested in cities and what makes them tick?

Right where tradition meets post modernism is where you will find this blog.

We will analyze what creatives and end users are making of public space, and what are they doing on the digital space? And then there’s the other space, you know, the psychological space of man, what is its proximity to marketing and advertising? So in that breath you might come across some pieces on branding, which we love immensely.

We’re interested in emerging artistic voices whilst also attentive to the fading ones of yesteryear. On that note, there’s something peculiar of art coming from the emerging economies, what is it? We will delve there too, come with us.

We might also transcend our reality, adrift to dream state realm where we might engage in some armchair philosophy. And if that happens, let it be, we are unashamedly dreamers; that’s how we got through high school.


So, hold on tight as we scour and forage the world for all things obvious and not, all things creative and alive. All things within the spectrum of creativity and curiosity.  Welcome to the Cultural & Creative Commerce blog.
