Description
[edit source]The cultural ululation and spoken word art performance is a form of entertainment with the theme" The World as a Global Village". It is a combination of Chant, song, dance and musical instruments, where the artist or performer talk about how united we are in diversity, the coming together of people from different historical backgrounds and culture, to form one homogenous group with common goal... The Wikipedia and WikiMania family. The art performance talks about how possible it is to bring people from different countries together and what we can achieve when we work as one. Cultural ululation sends a homely feeling to all that listens, it reminds you of who you are, where you come from, the legacy your heroes left for you, and what you can achieve. It unites cultures and create a feeling of assimilation and blending, unity and acceptance. In the midst of digitalized world, it makes culture relevant and helps to promote it so it doesn't wither.
Further details
[edit source]Qn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?
Everybody came from a particular place and social group that has cultural backgrounds. Culture is universal. Cultural ululation is found among different cultural groups with little differences in performance. It is a way of uniting people with their identity and backgrounds. Wikimania bring together people from different backgrounds and cultures, uniting them as one. Here we share our ideas and cultural experiences, resocialize and blend with others. In diversity we are united, in heterogeneity, we are homogeneous. Cultural art performance is traceable to almost all cultural groups. It entertains and educates, makes you feel at home with one another. Diversity, Collaboration Future can be reinforced and achieved through this performance that brings us together.
