This book explores multiple aesthetic relations constantly in flux, which construct, deconstruct and reconstruct the Indian Ocean. It addresses the questions of how the arts- music, literature, visual art, performance - relate to and dynamically create imaginaries of the Indian Ocean as a transcontinental space.
