Abstract
In 1966, the multi-media celebration of African and diasporic art known as the Premier Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres attracted an international audience to the recently independent nation of Senegal. As performances and exhibitions took place throughout Dakar, politicians, artists, and intellectuals considered what roles art and culture could play in healing a world torn by colonialism, the World Wars, and increasing tensions between the Eastern and Western blocs. In “Art and Peace,” Alioune Diop, the president of the Festival's organizing committee, enlists the arts as vital tools in the ambitious project of world peace. For contemporary readers, his words foreshadow present-day debates concerning the effects of globalization on the arts and reveal understudied links uniting the mid-century cosmopolitanist visions of negritude, Catholicism, and UNESCO.
1966年，非洲和散居地艺术的多媒体庆典被称为世界艺术节（Premier Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres），吸引了国际观众来到最近独立的国家塞内加尔。随着表演和展览在达喀尔各地举行，政治家、艺术家和知识分子考虑艺术和文化在治愈一个被殖民主义、世界大战和东西方集团之间日益紧张的世界方面可以发挥什么作用。在《艺术与和平》一书中，艺术节组委会主席Alioune Diop将艺术作为雄心勃勃的世界和平项目的重要工具。对于当代读者来说，他的话预示了当今关于全球化对艺术影响的辩论，并揭示了本世纪中期黑人、天主教和联合国教科文组织的世界主义愿景之间研究不足的联系。
