About ICCAML2018

Focusing on the African situations and contexts in the twenty-first century, this conference seeks inter-disciplinary perspectives to the evolving trends in the arts and humanities as important fields that have evidently done more than other disciplines to put Africa on the global map (for example, in literature, fine arts, music, archaeology, etc.). Participants are expected to engage the debate on how the arts and humanities are contributing locally, nationally, regionally and internationally to new understandings of emerging cultural transformations, especially as evidenced in environmental, political, economic, and social dimensions within the context and nexus of progressive globalization of exchanges.
