Description:
This workshop offers attendees an insight into how
the arts- in this case Ghanaian drumming - can serve
as a strong part of any form of Global Studies initiative.
By experiencing the aesthetics, playing techniques,
and cultural values placed on music in Ghana, participants
can widen their perspective of how the beliefs and
viewpoints of all cultures are embedded within their
arts. In addition to direct experience with playing,
the session includes discussion of how the arts
can be a fundamental part of Global Studies by introducing
a deeper experience and understanding of culture.
