Curated by Maipelo Gabang, ANOTHER BIBLIOGRAPHY is compiled from the reference lists generated by seven Southern African dance and performance scholars during the course of their artistic research studies. ANOTHER BIBLIOGRAPHY is offered here with the hope that in sharing references and perspectives from the Southern African research context we are contributing to an international artistic research future that is protean and inclusive, one that incorporates Artists of Colour as producers of knowledge.
