Abstract

Anthropological and philosophical studies suggest that art is common to every culture and everywhere. While art has a global presence, it nonetheless simultaneously hosts multiple expressions at the local and individual levels. This elastic quality of art makes it particularly interesting to observe from the lens of international projects such as the Children's Art Carnival. An in-depth look at the experiences in Milan and Barcelona in 1957, Brussels in 1958, and India in 1963 seems to incarnate an ever-present tension between ideas of brotherhood of nations and cultural collision.
